Hi everyone - I was hoping to buy a gift card for my friend so he can get anything from the MSFS marketplace for his PC standard edition. So, would I get him an XBox Gift Card or a Microsoft Gift Card? I’m not familiar with purchasing on the MSFS Marketplace, so I don’t know what forms of payment it would take. Any help you could offer would be appreciated - thanks! 
Hi @MorphMan24,
According to MS, the MS Gift Card can be used for games as well as anything else MS.

And if your friend has the steam edition, you can use the steam gift cards!
Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. And, also from that link provided by @Hester40MT, it looks like there’s no difference b/w Microsoft & XBox Gift Card

Note that the MS gift card only works if they own the sim through the Windows Store

Hi @RomanPlot613126,
According to the MS Store Gift Card:
" Can I buy in-app products with a gift card?
Yes and no. Most products offered in games and apps like map packs, new levels, and coins can be purchased with a gift card, but some apps like subscriptions require a credit card."
To be sure you can use the gift card for in-game marketplace, contact Microsoft via chat:
