I talked to a few people and there seems to be different ways to do it (one of which meant contacting support to change your region which doesn’t sound fun), BUT there’s a clear easy way to do it and I wanted to highlight it in one post. There may be other similar ways to do this and ill add them as I find them.
You’ll need a VPN and a mobile device:
Get Game Pass Ultimate, the normal Xbox Game Pass doesn’t get perks. You can get it in your own region and the first month is $1 or equivalent.
Download the Game Pass app on iOS or Android and have your VPN app or profile of choice ready with a US region available.
Turn the VPN on, login to Game Pass, then tap your profile and under Language and Location settings change your region to the US.
Now go back to the profile screen and scroll down to the “Perks” window.
Swipe until you find the multiple PSO2 perks available. Select, redeem, screenshot the code.
On the Xbox (and probably Microsoft Store app but it’s best not to open that rn), click on your Avatar in the top-right corner and click Settings. Near the bottom of the page will have a Redeem button. You don’t need a VPN and you don’t need to have your region changed for this to work.
This just worked for me. Little extra step was to set the Game Pass app to US and Language to US, then close and restart the app. Worked the second time I tried it.
This didn’t work for me at first. I got up to getting the codes and step 6 for opening up the Xbox app on PC, and when I entered the codes I got the following message:
Contact who you got this code from. We can’t redeem it.
This was the case for both the Xbox app on PC (which I guess is what the OP is referring to by “Xbox”) and the Microsoft Store.
However you can also redeem the code in the Xbox app: Profile > Settings > Redeem code. When I entered it there, it worked. The only difference was it had (United states) after my email in the line above the code entry instead of (United Kingdom).
It’s worth noting that using the app to enter the code as well has another benefit - you can long-press it on the perks screen and it’ll copy, so you don’t have to type it in.
Some other quick notes on each step:
In 2 - There’s an official Xbox Game Pass (Beta) app on Android too. I didn’t try that, the normal one worked.
In 3 - Logging in gave me a security confirmation as it was a new location detected. After following instructions that worked fine. After tapping the Profile button, you need to tap the cog in the top right and scroll down to find Language & Location.
In 4 - It didn’t show up for me immediately, I had to wait a few minutes. From the Perks screen if you tap Show All, you can swipe down to refresh. After a while it appeared. There are two to redeem; “Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks Bundle”
You don’t have to screen shot it and manually type it out. Taping the code in the game pass app will copy it to your clipboard then you can paste it straight into the xbox app.
