DLC region compatibility

If you read the FAQ it does explain it it only affects dlc

The new dlc in the new region may not be compatible with the other regions disks if it is region locked

no as stated by the sticky you MUST make the correct region account and use the correct region disk japanese dlc will not work with a US disk



in this case japanese account + japanese disk + japanese region = download and gameplay

us disk + japanese account + japanese region = region compatibility

us disk + us account + japanese region = region compatibility and not availiable in your region

good evening

The availability of DLCs (Downloadable Content) on Xbox Store or Microsoft Store can depend on several factors:

Region restriction: DLCs may only be available in certain regions and not others.

Console compatibility: Some DLCs may only be available for specific console generations or models.

Publisher decision: Publishers may choose to release DLCs for their games at different times or discontinue them.

It's possible that the DLC you're looking for is currently unavailable in your region or not compatible with your console. You can check the game's official website or social media accounts for updates on DLC availability.

Here is the official backward compatibility page

Can't say that any of my DLC for Gears is showing up in the game, perhaps it is being added by region?

its not likely due to compatibility issues

PC games aren't limited to pal/ntsc but CONSOLES are

licenses and distibution is limited by laws and regions

ntsc/pal content isn't compatible with each other

ntsc belongs in ntsc regions discs and pal content will only work with pal disks and are only avaible in the respected regions



also ALL prepaid DLC codes from gamestop do come with a warning

this content is region locked and will only work in the region you purchased in (this does come with the blackops mappack codes)
