  1. Country is locked to US when I try to change gamertag


    Hello!

    Recently I tried to change my Xbox gamertag but when I try to, the country is locked to the United States, and it won't let me change it. I've looked all over the forums and tried everything that came up, and nothing works. My country and timezone in settings is set to where i live. I'm clueless on how to fix it, so any advice helps thanks.

    :)

    Are you doing this on the website? If so, the website likes to default to the US for some reason. You can change the region in the far bottom left corner of the site.

    Why I can't change my gamertag??

    You should be able to change your gamertag from any country. If you're trying to change it from the website and it's locking you to the US, change the region in the bottom left corner of the site.

    Unable to Download Dark Souls Free Game with Gold Memebership

    If your gamertag is set to the US then that would be the issue. A lot of games are IP locked now which means that your gamertag must be set to the same country you live in. If it isn't already you should try migrating your account to your country.

    Something went wrong

    Gold memberships are region locked and can only be used for the country that they were intended. Also, if your gamertag is set for a different country then you could run into issues purchasing and downloading items.

    Please follow the steps at the link below to change your gamertag's region to your country so you can use your code.
