Sorry to make a thread on this but I cant find a straight answer. Is my search-fu weak?

I want Gears of war 4. In my own country its over 80 dollars. I can buy the code on amazon for 20 dollars. Will the USA code work in my country South Africa. I know Xbox CDs are region free but is the digital store? Is the windows store the same?

Do you have a link to the product? I think Amazon should be listing where, when and how the code will work. Typically when ever I buy a code outside of Steam I find that the stores are good at describing what regions work.

Although I imagine South Africa might be a special case?

EDIT: On a side note, could we take a moment to discuss just how shit the Windows Store is? I imagine it might look fine on a Tablet but on a PC it's most user unfriendly garbage. And they mix actual games, with windows apps and flash games. What the hell are they thinking?

Towards the bottom of the page, under product information, it says:

Countries: Note: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States.

Then down in the Q&A it says:

Question:
Does the code works out of usa? is it work in latin america ?

Answer:
You will want to purchase this game in the region you are going to play it in. That way you are sure that the game is available in your region. Nothing is stopping you from redeeming the code, but if the game is not available in your region, then you still won't be able to play it.

I suspect it will probably work in South Africa unless you have some very special censorship rules, like for example Germany has.
