Buying a game for my son

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help... I want to pay for a game add on my son wants to buy - Microsoft seem to only offer fixed amounts of credit £10/15/25/50. I want to just pay for the game not add an amount over the game. 

Is there any way I can do this? I have a disappointed boy at the moment!

He has saved pocket money cash so should be simple but seems not.

Hello UniPug,

     Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in purchasing a game add-on as a gift for a family member, but you want to know if you can add currency to your account in specific amounts. You can find the option to purchase an Xbox gift card from the Microsoft Store website. You can choose a specific amount for the gift card. However, the gift card amount starts increasing by five dollars instead of one once you reach $80. You just need to make sure that you are signed in to the website with your account. After you receive the prepaid code, go ahead and redeem it to the intended account and complete the purchase. We hope this information helps UniPug!

hi UniPug 

what you are describing is for adding credit to the account.

to buy the game without the credit part

you can go trough the store app on the Xbox or directly on Xbox.com , find your game then select buy then chose (or manage) a payment methods available in your region (credit, debit, Paypal, etc...)

this way you only pay for the game/add on + applicable taxes

Are you looking for the full game, Like the link below or just an add of the game over all ?

because he is doing it in his account it is then asking me to add credit so he can buy it. If I bought it on my login would he be able to access it? Thanks, so many questions!

If you wish to buy it over the Xbox you'll have to add credit to the account, or the credit card that you wish to buy the game with

This will also work with Xbox point cards you can find at Walmart or game stop

And if you bought it on your account he should still be able to play the add on to the game, From what I've tried I had to be on the account that had the game/game add on and play it. He could be on his account just with your account logged in, in the background. I also had to do this with Xbox live

Yes, if you bought it on your account, he can access it if you have the console set as your Home console. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

My son thought it was an add on but it is through his forza horizon 4 game. But looks like the version you shared but for the UK. Can't seem to add a specific amount to a gift card either!
