About Xbox Game Pass Essential United Kingdom

Xbox Game Pass Essential is the entry-level subscription for Xbox console players in the United Kingdom. It covers online multiplayer, a rotating catalog of more than 25 games such as Grounded, Among Us and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and member deals on selected titles. For a UK business, it is a practical reward for anyone who already owns an Xbox console and wants to keep playing with friends.

The card is issued in GBP at three fixed amounts: £19.99, £30.99 and £59.99. These values represent different subscription lengths, with £19.99 covering one month. Custom amounts are not available, so choose the denomination that fits your reward or payout size. This card redeems only on a Microsoft account set to the United Kingdom region.

There is no expiry date and no service fee on the code. To redeem, the recipient goes to microsoft.com/redeem and enters the code. A new Microsoft account can be created there, and the full terms are available at microsoft.com/cardterms. Codes cannot be replaced, so recipients should store them securely.

Businesses can send this UK card through GIFQ in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time through the API. It works well for paying research participants, rewarding employees who game, or thanking customers and brand advocates. The card is not interchangeable with the Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain or USA versions, which are issued in their own currencies and regions.

From product selection to delivery

For a direct order, your business chooses this product, its value and the quantity. Review the card details alongside the recipient’s needs before including it in a bulk order or an integration.

  1. Check the market and value

    The card details show the values and currency for this product. Use those to choose an amount that fits your budget and the recipient’s market. For a different country, explore the brand’s other market listings.

  2. Prepare the recipient’s instructions

    Review the expiry information shown and the brand’s instructions. Check whether redemption requires an account or a particular channel. Deliver those instructions with the reward so the recipient knows how to use it.

  3. Choose direct ordering or recipient choice

    If you need this particular card, order the selected product and value through the dashboard or API. If you want the person to choose the brand, confirm the options available for that payout before presenting the selection.

  4. Start with a small order

    Test the flow with a small order and keep its reference. Check the status before repeating a request that appears delayed. In an integration, connect the GIFQ order to your own record so your team can follow up on delivery questions.
