About Xbox Live Card (US)

An Xbox card is a prepaid card that allows you to add funds to your Xbox account. These funds can be used to purchase games, downloadable content, subscriptions, and other digital items from the Xbox Store. Xbox cards are available in various denominations, allowing you to choose the amount that suits your budget and gaming needs.

How Do Xbox Cards Work?

Xbox cards work on a simple principle: you purchase a card with a specific value and redeem it on your Xbox account. The funds from the card are then added to your Xbox account balance, which can be used for making purchases within the Xbox ecosystem.
