    Buying PC game from another region


    Hello all. I live in France, but have a US billing address and US credit card. Can I buy a game from Microsoft Store's US storefront and activate it here in France or do I have to buy it from the French storefront? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    It's best to buy from your own region.
    So will it or will it not activate if I order it from the US storefront?

    That would violate the terms of service and be considered marketplace theft which could result in being banned.

    if I change my xbox location and buy?

    once a region is set you cannot change the region of your account

    however you can create another account in another region and purchase the ms points with prepaid cards in the correct region you will have to buy from an etailer the correct region

    it is always best to buy ms points from your actual region

    ms points are region locked

    if the content is region locked usually games that are baned or restricted in australia and germany are and would prevent you from buying it regardless

    Naruto Ninja Storm 3 (This disc's region code is incorrect for this console.)

    Either buy a new game or console. The simple answer is you can't play a game from one region on a console from another region... unless the game is region-free!
