    country to country

    You cant.

    Gifting is locked to region.

    Both users need to be in the same region to gift games. You cannot gift to any one in another region

    Can I transfer a digital game purchased as a gift from my Microsoft account in Australia to my brothers account in UK? Game for Xbox one not yet downloaded thanks

    No as games are region locked

    You would need to buy from a retailer in his region as gifting is also region locked

    This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account.

    No. Gifting is region locked and there is no way around region locking.

    I got gifted a game from the USA and I live in australia

    Afraid not. Game gifting is region locked so anyone gifting you a game would need to gift you a game from your region.There's no way to convert the U.S. version to your region.
