    Hello, did you redeem the code on the same region as your account and game store?

    Open your Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com, go to Your info, then check your country or region. Make sure it matches the store region used when you bought the code. If it does not match, sign out of the game and store, then sign back in after updating the correct region in Windows Settings, Time and Language, Region. After that, open the Microsoft Store, go to Library, select Get updates, then launch the game again. This forces a license sync so the redeemed content attaches properly to your account.

    Use the following checks and steps to resolve this:

    1. Confirm the code was redeemed correctly
      • For Microsoft/Xbox gift cards or download codes, redeem at https://redeem.microsoft.com/ and sign in with the same Microsoft account used in the game.
      • For in-game currency/items bought via the Microsoft Store (for example, V-Bucks in Fortnite), verify that the purchase shows in the Microsoft account order history at https://account.microsoft.com/orders.
    2. Check the correct account and platform
      • Ensure the same Microsoft/Xbox account used to redeem the code is the one signed in on the device and in the game.
      • If the game uses a linked account (for example, Epic Games for Fortnite), confirm the correct Microsoft/Xbox profile is linked there as well.
    3. Refresh or relaunch the game
      • Fully close and restart the game.
      • If available, try launching the game via cloud/streaming for a one-time sync; in a similar case, the purchased V-Bucks appeared after launching Fortnite via cloud gaming, then remained on the account afterward.
    4. If it is a gift card or general code
      • After redeeming a Microsoft or Xbox gift card, the value is added to the Microsoft account balance and is not shown as an in-game item automatically. Use that balance in the Microsoft Store or in-game store to buy the specific item again.
    5. If the item still does not appear
      • If the order appears as completed in order history but the item or currency is missing in-game after restart and account checks, contact the game’s support with proof of purchase.
      • If the code itself cannot be redeemed or shows errors, use the “Problems redeeming a code?” help from the gift card/code article.
