Xbox Game Pass Essential gift cards by country

Xbox Game Pass Essential is the entry tier of Microsoft's gaming subscription. It provides access to a selection of titles from the Game Pass catalog and to online play in multiplayer games on Xbox consoles, along with periodic offers and in-service perks. The catalog is refreshed over time: some games are added and others leave the subscription, so the library changes. The subscription is tied to a Microsoft account rather than to a specific console, so you can play on any device where you have signed in with that account. A gift card is used to pay for a subscription period or to top up the balance of a Microsoft account, from which the plan is then paid. Codes are issued for a specific region and currency, so a card in Australian or New Zealand dollars is intended for an account registered in the corresponding country.
