|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Games & Apps | 14 days from purchase | <2 hours playtime, not fully downloaded | Core rule for most refunds |
| DLC/Add-ons | 14 days from purchase | No strict play limit, but minimal use | Tied to base game ownership |
| Pre-orders | Before release date | No play limit (unreleased) | Auto-cancels if not claimed |
| Subscriptions (Game Pass) | Within grace period | N/A | Separate policy—check billing |
| Physical Games | Not covered | N/A | Use retailer policy |
