    Are digital games region locked?


    Hi,

    I'm in the UK, if I use a digital code for Forza 5 from the US will it work? I believe the disc will work but I can't find anything about a digital copy.

    If I Buy Something Off The American Xbox Website, Is It Possible To Download It Even If It's Unavailable In The UK?

    Most digital games are region locked now as buying a game from a region that isn't your region is against the terms & conditions.

    Supposedly Region Free?

    Thats strange. The xbox one is region free and so are xbox one games. Even digital codes are region free. Are you sure you didnt buy a 360 game ?

    The digital code from the US will work on a UK Xbox One. I received a Fifa code from a friend in the UK and it works perfectly fine on my US console

    Xbox 360 digital content

    Digital 360 games had region locks as well.

    Gifted a game overseas, no game, money stolen

    Digital games are region locked as prices vary from country/region due to taxation laws.

    Region locking is not only for discs. Publishers could region lock games if there were issues releasing certain content in specific regions. Which is why some games were released digitally in all regions while others were not.

    XBOX live gold free games - not available in Slovakia for 6 weeks in a row, always replaced by The Maw

    Digital games are region locked and some may not be available for Slovakia. There's not much to do if the games with gold are not supported for your region.
