Why can I not pay for Xbox Dev Mode?

Hi Alfie, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

I kindly ask you to speak with Microsoft Store Support.

I hope this helps.

So does this mean only my associated account can use a dev mode or can I use one of my other Xbox profiles to use dev mode?

Virtually all Microsoft services require a credit card in order to validate them. This may include purchasing dev mode

I would also like to remind you the dev mode is to be used exclusively for developing software created by you, And that using it to run other kinds of programs can result in hardware and account bans

Jerbear thanx for the reply but i already looked thru all that... My main question is why i was able to delete or never got cant remember the dev mode settings tab where it hav a big leave dev mode button... I also have no way to sideload.... This is a huge
problem for evereyone on this dev mode as i cant get settings tab ???

Hi,

When your console is in developer mode, you can only use apps and games designed for developer mode. To play your Xbox games and apps you need to exit dev mode. This is how it is meant to work.

Once you've purchased developer mode it's yours to enter and exit whenever you wish, you won't have to pay again.
