Nope. At least, not in the USA. Those are just cards for XBL credit that show a game advertisement on them. I've purchased and received several of them over the years as gifts. You do not have to get the game shown on the card with the credit. |
There are cards like you describe, that might show Minecraft or Forza on the front but they’re just gift cards. There are also XBL Gold cards that have games on the front.
But they also sell cards for tons of games that when you enter the code, you redeem the actual game, not gift card money. I’ve bought more than a few and I live in the US.
