Hi
My name is Rishabh, I hope you are doing great out there. I’m happy to help you with your question.

Yes, you can purchase games from the Microsoft/Xbox US store and play them on your Xbox console even if your Xbox account's country is set to India. Xbox consoles are generally not region-locked, which means that you can play games from different regions on your console.

However, there are a few important things to keep in mind:

1. Currency and Payment Methods:

When purchasing games from a different region's store, you'll need to use the currency and payment methods associated with that region. For example, if you're purchasing from the US store, you'll need to use US dollars and a payment method that's accepted in the US.

2. Taxes and Pricing:

Game prices and taxes can vary by region. Be aware that the total cost might include regional taxes or other fees that are applicable to the region's store.

3. Content Restrictions:

Some games or content might have regional restrictions or differences in availability. Make sure to check the game's listing on the store to ensure that it's compatible with your console and region.

4. Xbox Live Region:

While you can purchase games from different regions, your Xbox Live account's region might impact some features, such as available content or support. It's generally recommended to use the region that aligns with your physical location for the best experience.

5. Download and Updates:

When you purchase a game from a different region's store, the download and update process might be affected by the region's server availability and your internet connection.
Region Switching:

While you can purchase games from different regions, frequently switching regions on your Xbox Live account might lead to complications. It's generally best to use the region that corresponds to your primary location.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks and regards
Rishabh Sohal

Are you accidentally trying to buy a game while you have set the website or the console to a different country that doesn't match your credit card's address country?

For example: Your credit card address is from India and you are trying to buy a game while on the US Xbox website or you have set the Xbox language to English USA instead of India?

[quote user="BidibidiStand"]I want my full rights as a Microsoft Xbox Customer[/quote]Then buy a Microsoft product intended for use in India?

and my Console to be covered under warranty in India as I live in India

It doesn't matter where you
live, it matters where the product was purchased.

and also I am a registered Xbox customer from India only.

Registering on a site from a country does not magically make all products you purchased fall under that country's warranty.



There are products that come with international warranties. The 360 is not one of them.
