Figures, first day of one of the biggest games of the year and i cant even sign in. Fix your *** microsoft, this xbox one has been nothing but a pain in the ***.

No it doesn't work at all.

Microsoft and Xbox is heavily restricted to the region

You must have the exact same payment methode aswell as the billing address.

Addtionally all your accounts (Microsoft and Xbox) must be in the exact same region.

Meaning you must live there, have a bank-account there and you must create all your accounts on that region to be able to buy there.

I tried using my Paypal to buy the giftcards (because Gamepass is cheaper than the game itself)

but it restricted me as I said to the region. Even when I tried to gift my friend the game directly, he was restricted to the region "GEOLOCATION" or something as error.

Having the same problem and did what you did also too I’ve restarted my console and factory reset it and restarted my WiFi and yeah I’ve done everything on my end and nothing I’ve removed my account to and all it does is just load and kick me out and doesn’t give me the option to even put an account or my info

Doesn’t show on Microsoft but I did do a hard reset and still nothing but I noticed that it’s a pending charge on my banks end but as of now my money is gone.
