Buying a new Xbox in different country,

Hi,

Just a quick one. I'm a British expat living in Germany. Cutting to the chase I have an xbox back home in the UK, if I buy a new one out here can I log into my UK account, download existing games linked to that account and would the xbox live membership
work?

Thank you in advance.

:)

"But at the same time we said,
this is a region-free console," he added. "In regions like Switzerland where people speak German and French, they can get a German or French console. It'll work fine. They can log in to their marketplace, use their language, we don't geo-fence Live or any
of the content any more. We don't have official language support - but the console still works."

lol - Although your intentions were good and you only sought to help a fellow XBL'er, I think the ya'll have only added to the confusion. I now I am now. lol

 

Hi,

so far as I know is the powergrid output in the UK identical to that of Germany.

so I assume it will work.

 

Yes, but you would have to set your console's region to UK or your games will not work (unless they must by EU law). Just log in to your UK account with the xbox one region set to UK and everything will work just as if you were in the UK.

When setting up the console select the UK as your region. If you need to do this after setup do the following:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide. Select Settings. Select System. Select Language & location. Select your location from the list, and then select Restart now.

The xbox one S and X have universal power supplies so power will not be an issue, and if you need to you can use plain adapters for plugs.

The original xbox one is different, as the power supply is not universal. Both Germany and UK use 220v 50hz so there shouldn't be any problems except if they use different plugs.

 

Hello, Turkish2803!

Yeah, the licenses should be the same for Xbox live and any and all of your digitally downloaded games.
