Can't play online after changing my region

Shaarawy83 · Jul 9, 2014

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.

:)

Are Xbox One Games Region Locked?

I constantly change region in order to get games that are only out in US and then play them in Australia now. All you need to do is buy a US prepaid MS store credit voucher online using paypal to convert currency, then change region to US and get whatever I want (usually cheaper too). Given Australia keeps getting censored games this means I get proper versions of things.Click to expand...

Can you conform this is still the case?
I want to change my region from Belgium to USA, becouse AAA games are ~20 cheaper there!
And if the game is cross-play on win10 can I play it there?Click to expand... I try this on win10 mobile. And (I think) it the same way as XBone and win10 pc.
If you pay for a game in one region you can only download it in that region, but you can change you're region, buy it, download it, change region to normal, and than play it!

support.xbox.com/.../ChangeLocale

this list (although used to change language on xbox.com) contains the Gold live enabled regions, every other Region may or may have no Access to marketplace, but definitly has no Access to online multiplayer

if you currently are living in egypt, then no, there wont be anything to be done as it is Setup correctly

if you currently are not living in egytp, then by being informed before Region Change confirmation: you have to wait

Now I know that I am stupid enough that I don't read the confirmation messages carefully.

Then what about my renewal to the live membership that is just paid today? Can it be suspended, cancelled or refunded?

I paid 10$ for service I can't use as I am stuck in the current region for more than 2 months left.

i would suggest to contact xbox support, if it is possible they would be the ones to make this happen

Can't I simply change the region on the Xbox after I download my profile?
