    Feature request: Add Egypt as an official Xbox region (EGP Store + Game Pass + local payments)


    Hi Xbox Insiders,

    Feature request: Please add Egypt as an official supported Xbox region with an Egypt Store and local pricing in EGP, plus the ability to subscribe/renew Xbox Game Pass normally from Egypt using Egypt-issued payment methods and billing addresses.
    Xbox has an official supported regions list, and when a country isn’t supported it causes region/store/billing problems for players and pushes them into using other regions/workarounds instead of a normal supported experience.

    If you’re from Egypt (or affected by unsupported regions), please comment with:

    • Your console (Series X|S / Xbox One) .
    • What region you’re forced to use today.
    • The exact issues you hit (Game Pass not available, purchase blocked, billing mismatch, etc.).

    Also, please submit this through the official channels (Feedback Hub / “Report a problem”) so it’s tracked internally—this thread is to collect more voices and real examples.

    New Xbox App update broke Egyptian (and other regions') Gamepass

    This isn't true. Microsoft recently rolled out Gamepass for Egypt that officially supports Egyptian store in MS Store, Egypt as a region on the PC and Xbox game store, and supports Egyptian currency on Egyptian cards

    So yes, recently MS released Gamepass in Egypt using Egyptian currency through the Xbox Insider program. I received a message for gamepass availability.

    If you look in the links I posted you will see that many in Egypt have subscribed to the recently released Gamepass.

    I cannot download games off Xbox.com/Xbox Live store on my Xbox 360 console with Microsoft Account funds.

    Okay, this helped me clear things up a bit. I live in Egypt, I contacted MS support and I was told to set my region to an Xbox Live-supported country if I want an Xbox Live subscription, so I did so, I set it to the US, and I only couldn't download Sleeping
    Dogs when it was free with Xbox Gold, because my console's region is different from my LIVE region. I had to change my region to Canada because I can only use my MSA funds if the region matches the currency, right? So in this case, it's Canadian dollars. Why
    aren't my MSA funds chosen as the method of payment then? I can't figure it out. Should I just let it go and start using a relative's credit card to purchase things? And if so, how will I? I live in Egypt, is EGP a supported currency?

    Sorry for taking too long, I just want to be able to use the Xbox Live store. Thanks for answering, DeathBladez.

    Trying to add payment method for account in Kenya

    You can add a payment method fro. Outside the us and europe however you CAN only add one from a xbox live supported region

    Kenya isnt a xbox live supported region

    Sinapore australia india japan china korea south africa egypt saudi arabia uae etc are all xbox supported regions

    https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/live/countries is all xbox live supported regions

    For any online service you must live in a supported region

    This is controlled by your chamber of commerce and local laws

    Local payment in Egypt

    Egypt is not a supported Xbox region

    attempting to bypass regional restrictions can result in account and hardware bans.

    Local payment in Egypt

    Hi ABDERAHMAN, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    I understand a little about the problem you are presenting, for this type of problem the best thing I can recommend is to contact support directly. since this has something to do with payments and billing. We cannot solve these types of problems here on the forum since we are only players like you who help each other with basic problems, we are not Microsoft employees.

    Support: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/

    If you have any other questions, let me know, I will be attentive to continue helping you.
