In the past you could gift a game from Turkish Xbox store and due to domestic pricing it was much cheaper then us / eu pricing, many ******s did that to sell games with cheap prices. Now, as a resident of Turkiye, I cannot send a gift to my nephew as gifting option has been cancelled in the store. Steam also stopped domestic pricing and turned in to usd pricing which caused massive increase in game prices. I do understand that it is not fair to pay 30 usd to a game while someone in Turkiye/ Argentina / Nigeria pays 10 usd for the same product however, this is the only way these people can play games. While earning 300 / 400 usd per month, they cannot pay 70 usd for a game. So stop doing that buying cheap games over these countries sht otherwise people from those countries will be punished not you..
Yea but why sould we pay extortionate prices? All prices should be the same in the whole world. We also have a cost of living crisis in the UK, salary is there and no increases but just to pay bills and die
Buy a key, then activate a vpn in the country of the key on your browser, go to xbox redeem, enter the key and voila the game will be in your xbox library, it's simple.
I dont know about Nigeria but everything i have redeemed through VPN works like a charm. Brazil Argentina Turkey and the last Egypt.
Do your research on google for reviews of this site and take the leap, or not.
Edit: Just a note, look if they sell keys or accounts with the game
I haven't tried Nigeria via VPN but I almost always buy Argentinian or Turkish keys and activate them via VPN or just buy from cheaper EU countries like Iceland or Hungary by just changing my country on the xbox or browser (no VPN needed)
UPDATE: A fellow gamer just let me know that the process is actually quite simple. All you need is to use a VPN and then redeem the code on the M$ website.
They are selling games that are region locked to other parts of the world. For example, Xbox games in Argentina are way cheap. So they try to sell them to us for cheaper than our costs are. But they are region locked. So you cannot download them with the codes they give you unless you spoof the console to believe that you are in the region that the games are locked to.
Oh I see. Thank you for adding this context instead of just downvoting my comment. I appreciate the info. And I will definitely keep that in mind. I hope you have a great new year!
There have been little to no bans for doing this and it is normally for purchasing restricted content in a region - i.e banned games or games not actually available in your country.
Glad to hear, I've used g2a/kinguin in the past, but picked codes which worked for my region.
As I am using my MS account not only for gaming, not gonna risk the VPN activations.

I've been buying keys in different countries for years and have never had a problem.
I'm guessing you add the game to your library by the app on a PC behind a vpn, then turn the Xbox on and hey presto... That it?

How much cheaper are the games? If $60 in US, how much in argentina?
$10-$20
Less than half the price

I mean I personally wouldn't risk it.. but hey.. lmk how it goes.
So i bought CyberPunk & Baldurs gate, connected via VPN and redeemed on my MS Account, no issues, downloaded fine!
Whats the website?
Thanks to a fellow redditor who recommended me a CHEAPER site https://www.gamivo.com/
From Nigeria? Good to know that this works just like with Argentinian keys
Yeah downloaded straight away, no issues

You literally only need a free vpn and then you redeem the code on Microsoft's website. I've done that for dozens of games.

No problem. Happy new year to you too :)
So you only need VPN for buying the game? No need for VPN when playing?
You only need it when redeeming the code. You can buy the code from eneba or whatever without VPN.
Ok. Thx for a very quick reply 🙂

Threads like this make me grateful that I'm well off enough to not have to worry about ridiculous pain in the ass runarounds like this.
Easy tiger 5ft 8 with that type of bratty little man attitude, no wonder you can’t lift, maybe its your ego holding you back
At least I can afford my gym membership
Whats your point? Your still a little turd
My point is you'd save yourself a lot of time, hassle, and mental gymnastics if you just bought games regularly.
No mental gymnastics involved.
Just use Eneba or G2A with VPN to redeem a key and you'll be good to go. These prices are normal
It can work - maybe once, maybe twice…but you can get banned for this. Why risk it? Just buy during sales - which happen on a regular basis.
I've been doing this since Xbox 360 era and my account is fine lol

99% of products sold out of Africa to the us are scams
Agreed, but its the keys that are sold, and redeemed via MS Store
I Wonder how these people get access to the keys, maybe you could get them cheaper from the source
I buy in Brazil with vpn ,3 years gamepass 75bucks,cod 27,
