Xbox Gift Card (USA)

Xbox Gift Card (USA) is the USD-denominated prepaid Microsoft code for Xbox accounts with USA country setting. Microsoft Corporation is headquartered in Redmond, Washington, and Xbox is one of its flagship divisions led by Phil Spencer (CEO of Microsoft Gaming). The USA is the largest single Xbox market globally, with massive game pass adoption and substantial US-based first-party studio infrastructure: Halo Studios (Bellevue, WA — formerly 343 Industries), Mojang Studios (Minecraft), Compulsion Games, Obsidian Entertainment (Irvine, CA — Avowed, Fallout: New Vegas), Bethesda Game Studios (Rockville MD, Austin TX — Starfield, Elder Scrolls), id Software (Richardson, TX — Doom: The Dark Ages), Activision Blizzard (Santa Monica/Irvine, CA — Call of Duty, Diablo, Overwatch). The gift card loads USD credit to your Xbox Wallet — usable for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the new $22.99/month (April 2026 price update), AAA game purchases, DLC, in-game currency, and Microsoft 365. MRCODA delivers the code by email within 1–5 minutes of payment confirmation.

Important: Xbox Gift Card (USA) redeems exclusively on Microsoft accounts with USA country setting. Microsoft has cracked down on region abuse — cards purchased outside USA cannot be applied to USA accounts. US state sales tax applies to Microsoft Store digital purchases based on billing zip code. Confirm USA at account.microsoft.com → Your info before paying.
