    Problem upgrading to Game Pass - Differing Region Code


    Hi, I renewed my Xbox Live subscription with a pre paid card but I was required to change my region code from South Africa to UK in order for the renewal to take effect. Thereafter I changed my region code back to South Africa. Now I want to upgrade to
    Game Pass and it will not allow me to do so unless I change my region code back to UK. I don't want to pay in pounds as this is way more expensive based on a straight conversion of our local currency to pounds. Is there any way to rectify this problem? Any
    assistance will be appreciated. Thanks

    :)

    Key redeem error

    Do you have Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate? Because the error speak about "conversion", maybe you are trying to redeem an Xbox Live code of a different region and conversion to Game Pass Ultimate don't work in this way. As additional information the codes
    are always region assigned.

    Can't redeem game pass code

    Hi,

    you might want to reach out to the party that supplied you the Code as gift.

    A reason could be that the code is regionally locked, but it could also be different things.
    For example do you currently have a Game pass subscription and is Game pass available as service in your country region.

    Trying to purchase XBox Game Pass Ultimate for 1 month, but keep getting told to change my Microsoft Store region

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Ripclaw786, usually this message appears because the Gold that is active in your account is from a different region of the Game Pass you are trying to purchase, if you purchased Live Gold as a Card and reposted it to your account, try to verify which region it belonged to and to upgrade the Game Pass will have to be from the same region.

    gifted 3 month xbox live pass (Gold)

    I'm afraid your friend might have to keep the 3 month pass for themselves if they are in a different region than you. Prices are different in other regions so purchased codes are region locked.

    Why can't I reddem a xbox game pass code?

    So recently i bought a code for Xbox Game Pass but when i try and redeem it it says "This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account." Please help.
    It sounds like you are trying to redeem a code for an Xbox Game Pass subscription that was purchased in a different region from the region associated with your Xbox account. This can happen if the code was purchased in a different country or region than the one you are currently located in.

    To fix this issue, you will need to change the region associated with your Xbox account to match the region in which the code was purchased. Here's how to do that:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account.
    2. Select your profile picture on the top right corner of the screen.
    3. Select "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu.
    4. Under "Country or region," select "Change" and then choose the country or region where the code was purchased.
    5. Follow the prompts to update your account information.
    Once you have changed the region associated with your account, you should be able to redeem the code for Xbox Game Pass. If you are still unable to redeem the code after changing the region, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.
