Steps To Redeem Your Xbox Gift Card Code:
There are two main ways to redeem an Xbox gift card code: on your Xbox console itself, or through the Microsoft Store app on your Windows PC or mobile device. Here's a breakdown of both methods:
Redeeming on your Xbox console:
- Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
- Navigate to "Store" using the directional pad or thumbstick.
- Once in the Store, press the "View" button (usually the button with four squares) to open the side menu.
- Select "Redeem" from the side menu.
- Enter the 25-character code found on the back of your gift card (don't worry about hyphens, the system will remove them).
- Select "Next" and follow any on-screen prompts to complete the redemption process.
Redeeming on Windows PC or Mobile Device:
- Open the Microsoft Store app.
- Click on your profile picture or account icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Redeem a code or gift card" from the menu.
- Enter the 25-character code on the back of your gift card.
- Click "Redeem" and follow any on-screen prompts to complete the process.
Once you've redeemed your code using either method, the credit will be added to your Microsoft account balance. You can then use this balance to purchase games, apps, movies, subscriptions, and other digital content on the Microsoft Store.
