    All I ever do is buy gift cards for M$ for whatever country has the cheapest price (normally Brazil or turkey). Buy the cards from g2a. Add the game to my basket on said foreign store and use Google translate to read. Add the gift vouchers to the value and then buy. It downloads straight to my console. No hassle no VPN etc

    Would the (United Kingdom) part cause an issue?

    I have set up a US address to my account just in case.

    I wouldn’t want to look now how much I could have saved 😩

    However that would be the way forward. Any chance you could send me a step by step PM? Would be kind if you could. Also can the whole process be done on my phone, or is a pc required also? Thanks
