    Do I lose access to DLC after changing region?


    A few weeks back I got my Xbox One by UK import. Since the Xbox One won't be released until September here in the Netherlands I'm tucked into the UK game/store region. Now I've been reading everywhere that if I purchase DLC for e.g. Titanfall I'll lose access
    to the DLC as soon as I switch my region from UK to the Netherlands in September when the Xbox One hits local shelfs.

    I am not entirely sure on this info. It's all only mentioned in early forum posts of Day One imports to the Netherlands and never been updated so I don't know if the policy changed. I would love to download/purchase the expansion for Titanfall but not if
    that means I'll spend my euro's two times for the DLC because I'll be locked out from it when my region will change.

    :)

    Account locked. Transfer data?

    No that is a bad Idea - Do not delete that account - you will lose access to the save games.

    You need access to that account - how ever you can do it - if you do not, eventually you will lose all access to DLC/Games etc.

    well changing your region wont help get the dlc

    it only affects new purchases

    as region locked content isn't garenteed to work after migration

    its better off to create an new account if it is a temporary move then to lose 100s of dollars of DLC

    Do I lose access to DLC after changing region?

    If you don't have any issues download ing the content now then the region change won't affect you unless you aren't wherever you set your region to

    You will have issues with cod and bf4 not sure about titanfall

    Best policy wait

    I'm able to download from the store right now. I've downloaded Halo Spartan Assault and that (can't remember name atm) Games for Gold game after updating my credit information. Thing is, it just doesn't make me feel good downloading even the Games for Gold
    games at this moment because I'm to afraid I lose access to them (and possibilities to 100% 'em) once I switch my region around.

    I'll give it some time and see if I can find more conclusive info.

    changing regions

    forums.xbox.com/.../442533.aspx

    but you may lose access to region locked dlc

    if you have a lot of dlc it would be better to create a new account for your region as long as you do not change consoles

    Full arcade games can't be redownloaded after region change

    nope but you can repurchase them

    when you change regions you lose access to the original language dlc

    dlc tends to be limited by language and regions

    czech dlc won't be compatiable with EN disks

    if the en version isn't available in the new region which alot of them aren't
