Request an Xbox digital product or subscription refund

For physical Xbox products (such as disc games and controllers) and other Microsoft products, see Returning items you bought from Microsoft for exchange or refund.

1. Sign in to the Xbox Refund Request Solution with your Microsoft account. Be sure to sign in from the account used to make the purchase. If you have multiple accounts, you can check the purchase history on each to find the charge and order number.
   Note If you don't know your Microsoft account email address or password, use the Lost Account Solution or the Lost Password Solution.
2. You will be prompted to verify that you are signed in to the correct account and have the order number(s) for this purchase.
3. Select the reason you are requesting the refund, then answer any additional questions that follow.
