  1. Region locked gift.


    My friend gifted me dlc for world war z. As usual i received a message on my xbox, which gave me the option to redeem there and then. When i tried to, it said sorry there was a problem, Download at Microsoft. I have done this before so it didnt seem unusual.
    But it turns out it's region locked to the US. But she bought it through the gifting tab, she is uk based, as am i. She also was charged in £ sterling. But i we don't seem to be abke to get a refund, or just the code changed. No where has is stated in the
    description, the email that also comes with a copy of the code, or on her end while purchasing that it would be region locked. Agaun, she purchased it using the xbix dash gift button. Any help her would be much appreciated

    :)

    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.

    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
