How to Redeem an Xbox Code on Console or Computer

If you have an Xbox code to add credit, download a game, or unlock content, redeeming it is simple and quick. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you redeem your code, whether you’re using your Xbox console or a computer.

1. Redeeming a Code on Your Xbox Console

If you have an Xbox console (Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S), you can easily redeem the code directly from your device.

Steps:

1. Turn on your Xbox console and log in to the account where you want to redeem the code.
2. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the side menu.
3. Select Store from the menu.
4. Scroll down to find the option called Redeem or “Redeem a Code.”
5. Enter your code in the text box (the code is usually 25 characters long).
6. Click Confirm or Redeem.
7. If the code is valid, you’ll see a confirmation message, and the credit, game, or content will be added to your account.

Note: Double-check your code for errors, especially distinguishing between letters and numbers like “O” and “0”.

2. Redeeming a Code from a Computer

You can also redeem your Xbox code online using a computer. This method is convenient if you find it easier to type the code using a keyboard.

Steps:

1. Open a browser on your computer and go to the Xbox Redeem Page.
2. Log in with your Microsoft Account linked to your Xbox profile.
3. Click on the Redeem Code button.
4. Enter your 25-character code in the provided field.
5. Click Next and then Confirm to complete the process.
6. A confirmation message will appear, and the credit or content will be added to your account.

Why Use a Computer to Redeem a Code?

• It’s easier to type the code, especially if you have it stored on another device.
• You can redeem codes even if you’re not near your Xbox console.

Tips:

• Check the Code: If the code isn’t working, double-check it or contact the retailer where you purchased it.
• Use the Correct Account: Make sure you’re logged into the right account since redeemed codes can’t be transferred between accounts.

Now you’re all set! Redeem your code successfully and enjoy the new credit, games, or content on your Xbox account!
