    About region locked games :)


    I have some question can you guys help me on it?

    If I borrow my sisters Credit Card she is in Hawaii and I live in Philippines am I able to download free xbox games?

    Also about the games that are region block If We can't download it, Can xbox give us another game that is available for us?

    60 usd is expensive in my country :/ that is like a month of salary! I bought the gold mebershipbecause it is Advertised that we can get 2 games per month! there are months that i cant get a game huhu I think you guys are false advertising About region locked games :) :(

    Look at your advertising page Games with Gold | Xbox Live it says there that Twice a month, Xbox Live Gold members get exclusive access to a hand-selected
    collection of free games.* Because our members are the heart of the Xbox community -- and they deserve it. you should have said that "Xbox Live Gold members "might" get"

    Sorry about the post :/ i mean no harm sorry again

    :)

    Are Xbox One Games Region Locked?

    Do I have to worry about regions when purchasing Xbox One games? Like the Wii U is region locked and has PAL and NSTC region games.

    About region locked games :)

    Generally if a certain game is not available in a region, they do provide a different game. However, since the Philippines are not a support region, that would not be the case.

    In order to use your sister's credit card, you would need to have a US account. Even then you will still run into region issues due to living in a region where Live is not supported.

    Having Region problems but microsoft cant help...

    Some games are region locked, but not all. That's why you will run into issues with certain games,but not all of them. Region locks are put in place by the developers, not Microsoft so they can't do anything about them. There is no way around region locks.

    discs region code is incorrect for this console

    It´s the game.

    Some games are region locked thats all.

    US and europe consoles can all read PAL but if a game is region locked it will not work.

    So if the game is only for New Zealand but your console is not it will not read it.

    It has nothing to do with PAL.

    Sometimes it has to do with the language sometimes it´s just a choice for the publisher to put a region lock on it.

    There is nothing you can do about it.

    It is known that Fifa is region locked.

    Redeem codes

    Hello, Sorry if a gifted game is region locked its nothing you can do about it. When you purchase games like this it does mention about region lock and making sure it is correct. Only option I can give is to contact XBox and see what they say.
