I recently bought a Minecraft gift for my friend in a different region, and he can't redeem it. I've been looking for a way to refund the gift, but I can't find a way to request a refund. I've already asked the ai chatbot and looked at my order history, but I can't request a refund. Is there any way to resolve this? I simply can't find a way to refund the gift after looking.

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    For Xbox digital games purchased through the Microsoft Store, you can request a refund by going to the Request a refund for digital games website.

    Sign in with your Microsoft account on the link above and request a refund. Note that the refunds are typically issued for requests made within 14 days of the purchase date.

    Scott,

    In this situation, you will need to contact Microsoft Xbox Support directly.

    Account or billing related questions are outside the scope of the community, since they often require sharing personal information. Microsoft places a high priority on account privacy and security, so these details cannot be discussed in a public forum.

    To reach an Xbox Support advocate, please click the link below.
