    Can't play games online due to region


    Hello,

    So I'm originally from the U.K., but moved your South Africa 2 years ago and took my Xbox with me. I changed my region on Xbox to South Africa since that is the country I live in now.

    Problem is, when it comes to P2P games (like For Honor) I can NEVER find any matches due to my region.

    My NAT is open (it's shows green NAT in the game as well), but still can't find any matches.

    Is there any way possible for me to do something without changing regions (since currency exchange will kill me when buying digital games).

    I paid money for the game and it kinda sucks that I can only do 10% of what the game offers.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Can't play online after changing my region

    Hi,

    I have changed my region recently to a region that i figured out after the change that i can't play online in this new region and i can't change my region back again due to the 3 months process.

    Is there any way to change my region before the 3 months as there are no benefits i got from either the old or the new regions?

    If No, is there anyway to play online in my current region Egypt.

    My Live Gold monthly membership has just been renewed today and i will lose it that way!!

    So all what i need is to enjoy online gaming as intended when subscribed in gold live membership, no matter by region change or any other way.

    Thanks in advance.

    Can't buy product due to region.

    I'm not sure, you should check if the game is available in your region, if it is you shouldn't have problems to buy it.

    If you can't play online due to parental or region restrictions then no one here can do anything about that.

    If there are no restrictions on your account then you'd need a gamepass core or ultimate subscription to play online unless it's a free to play game.

    Xbox live

    As xbox Live is avaliable in your region so you can't play any game online but you can buy the games and play It.
