Buy an Xbox Gift Card from Amazon

PROS: The Xbox Gift Card can be used to buy ANY game from the Microsoft Store on your Xbox console. You can also buy other types of content, like movies, apps, etc. The Xbox Gift Cards work with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.

CONS: The only problem is that there are times when Microsoft stops selling Xbox Gift Cards on Amazon. There are weeks when the links we shared don’t work, and you see that some gift cards are listed as “Currently unavailable.”

How to buy an Xbox game from Amazon that is available as a digital code

The fastest way to buy Xbox games from Amazon is to look for games that use the term “Digital Code” in their name. These games are available as digital, download-now options, and they use the Xbox Live DRM system. Amazon.com Services LLC always sells them, and you can pay for them using your Amazon Gift Card balance (if any), your debit or credit card.

For example, here’s a screenshot of Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition - Xbox One [Digital Code]. You can purchase it from Amazon and redeem it on your Xbox for download and installation. We highlighted the DRM information so that you know where to find it. If it does not say Xbox Live, you should look for other purchase options.

Buying a game available as an Xbox One Digital Code

Other Amazon websites, like Amazon.co.uk, add the text “Download Code” in the name of the Xbox games that you want to find. So, for example, on Amazon.co.uk, you have Forza Horizon 5: Standard | Xbox & Windows 10 - Download Code.

PROS: You can buy and download an Xbox game in minutes, and your only limitation is your internet connection’s speed.

CONS: The biggest problem with this method is that you get access to a limited portfolio of Xbox games. Usually, major titles can be found on Amazon, but not all of them can be bought digitally. Also, Digital Codes for some games are not always available. There are months when digital Xbox One games are not sold on Amazon but only on the Microsoft Store from your Xbox console.
