Xbox 360 Microsoft Account Currency

ozBody Count100,

You won't be able to purchase the 360 title from the Xbox One or Xbox.com using a Microsoft gift card or account currency. The only way to purchase 360 content with currency/gift card is through an Xbox 360 console.

Hey, FloatingKruger! The logic is that when Microsoft Points turned into Microsoft Currency, the website would not accept the currency for Xbox 360 games (though an Xbox 360 will allow currency to be used). This happened back in 2012. The Xbox One BC games
use the same source as the website. Thus, you need to have a credit card on file to make purchases for Xbox 360 games while on your Xbox One and the xbox.com website.

There used to be the Xbox Family Pack where you could give your child accounts points, however that has been retired for a few years now. The best way to get currency onto your son's account is by purchasing a currency card from a retailer or the
Microsoft Store, and then put the 25-digit code onto his account.

Hopefully that clears up the situation with currency and purchasing Xbox 360 games. Let me know if you have further questions that I can assist you with.

Hey there,

For Xbox 360 purchases made through the Xbox One console or through the Xbox Marketplace on Xbox.com, a credit card on file is required. Additionally, Microsoft Account currency cannot be used for Xbox 360 game purchases outside of the Xbox 360 console.

Hope this helps clear up the situation.

Can I purchase backwards compatible games Xbox 360 games with Microsoft currency?

Hi, I'm actually trying to get it ON a 360, I just don't know how. I'll check your link though, thanks!

I've checked, and apparently the only things that are down are some Xbox One sports games. Thanks though!
