    Had alot of issues getting xbox live sub from cdkeys applied

    constant error

    "Try that again. Something happened on our end. Waiting a bit might help".


    found this link on another website which worked great

    was given this website from Microsoft support. Copy and paste into your browser and replace the X with your code. It worked after two tries for me.

    Recore Definitive Edition and Rainbow 6 Siege are glitching as free on the console marketplace right now only, not PC.

    Works on Windows 10 marketplace also apparently.

    Just search for them, and instead of buy, it has an "install" button like a free game would. The game seems to be tied to your account then.

    Siege is just off a free weekend, and recore is gone on game pass - Id say thats what you're seeing.

    Im sure free weekends dont carry over to the Tuesday. And No, check all the big bargain websites and reddit/neogaf etc.. Its a glitch. Whether the let us keep them or not, remains to be seen.

    It's in the game pass I think. Maybe thats why it's free for some??

    I got both for free and don't have game pass and I do not hav ea EA pass either. I didn't download them though as it would take me all day just to download the small 7 GB Recore. Anyone else with fast internet fully download them and see if they play?

    It worked for me earlier but now I am getting the error. It looks like Xbox pulled the license from people who got it for free.

    Folks, I was about to buy Destiny 2 digital on Digital Deluxe Edition on Microsoft store at €109.99

    Saw it on online from other stores for $99.99 USD

    Would there be any problem with regions?

    there are some really good foreign deals on Destiny2, AFAIK Destiny2 is not region locked but the DLCs are.
    so you have to buy all in game+dlc otherwise there maybe some messing required if you want to buy install DLCs later.

    been burned with poor DLC content before so went with Disc in the end.

    And Brazil. You also now need to do it through the console, found out last time that the website doesn't work anymore.

    No content digitally or physically are locked on Xbox One. Digital is region locked on PS4.

    If you buy Destiny 2 from the US store and the DLC from the Irish store it won't work. It will on the Xbox.

    Just buy the DLC from the same store.

    Your missing the point. If the DLC has to be bought from the same store as the main game it's not region free.

    On Xbox you can buy the game from the US and the DLC from the UK store and they will work together.
