I want to purchase FIFA 23 but its not available in my region, so can a friend of mine in another country but the game code and give it to me? I heard some xbox codes are region locked but will changing the account region in microsoft while using a VPN work?
#Are Xbox game code region locked? and if so, does changing your MS account region + VPN work?`
