The code is missing a character or the code has less than 25 characters:

If the code is missing characters and is not up-to 25 characters, you’ll need to request a replacement code. Use the Contact us button for help getting a replacement code.

Error “Code was already redeemed”

If you’re getting a message that your code has already been redeemed, make sure that you didn’t already redeem the code yourself, possibly under a different gamer-tag or Microsoft account. If you live in a household where others have access to your codes, check that it wasn’t redeemed by someone else.

Error “Code not found”

If you’re getting a “code not found” message, first be certain you’re entering all 25 characters of the code correctly.

Note The following letters and numbers never appear in Xbox digital codes: A, E, I, L, O, S, U, 0, 1, and 5.

If you still get the same message, you’ll need to request a replacement code. Use the Contact us button for help getting a replacement code.

Error “Code has expired”

In most cases, we can’t provide replacement codes once they’re past their expiration date. If you feel the expiration date is in error, or if the expiration date listed for your code has not yet passed, request a new digital code. Use the Contact us button for help getting a replacement code.

“Try again later” message

If you’re having trouble redeeming a code, it may be due to a service outage on XBOX Servers.

If there are any service outages, wait until those are fixed and then try redeeming the code again.

“This code is not yet” active message

If you’re seeing the message “This code is not yet active” when you try to redeem your code, it means that you have a valid digital code, but it’s not yet been activated by the retailer. You’ll need to Contact us to activate the code.

I cant find my content after redeeming the code

When you download a game from the Microsoft Store to your Xbox, it installs automatically. While the game is downloading and installing, it appears in the Queue section of My games & apps.

“This code cant be redeemed in this region” message

Xbox codes are region-locked, meaning that a code bought in one currency or from one region cannot be redeemed in another region. The XBOX Account region IP address may be required to redeem this code. We-recommend redeeming Xbox codes using a VPN to mask your virtual location.

Download a trusted VPN on your PC
Connect to the VPN server that matches your digital code’s region.
Open a web browser in incognito/private mode.
Go to http://redeem.microsoft.com/ and sign in to your Microsoft account.
Enter the 25-digit code. Redeem the code to add it to your account.
You should now have added the code’s value to your account. If it was a Game Pass, Gold subscription or Wallet Top up it should now appear in your subscription in your Microsoft account.
