Hi there James, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

It is not possible to gift digital games from the Microsoft/Xbox Store to players in a different country than yours. When using the gifting feature, a code is sent with the region of your country. In order to redeem this code, the recipient must use a code from their own region, as codes have regional restrictions.

If the code has not been redeemed and it's within 14 days of purchase, you can request a refund using the following link:

You can verify for yourself that this is not possible through the Microsoft Gift Terms and Conditions website at the following link:
