    How to plug in a UK xbox one s in the USA or any country with normal electricity.


    So I got a nice xbox one s as a gift when I noticed it came with a PLUG G TYPE electrical cord. I guess that's euro current? My question is if I get a generic cord like the one one the following link would I get my xbox one s Fried? do I need to purchase
    anything or does it take 220 or 120, I don't understand about electricity but I'm kind of stuck right now and xbox customer service doesn't offer chat support, Thanks.

    Normal electricity? lol. Most of the world uses 220.

    All you need is a UK to US adapter if the S is multi-voltage. Usually, electronics are now-a-days.

    Hi,

    Regardless of the actual plug, the One S is multi-voltage, which means you can plug it in to any electrical socket in the world and it will work, no problem.

    So, you can either get an adapter for the plug, or you can contact Microsoft for power cord for your region. Either way, you're good to go.

    Hi, that cable will work fine. I have used cables other than the cable that came with the Xbox on more than one occasion. The cable provided by Microsoft doesn’t contain anything magical such as Unicorn hair, it’s a regular copper cable.

    I did a little search and somebody asked this question on reddit a few years ago, the general consensus seemed to be that all you really need is the cable, or a UK -> Adapter. I don't know how accurate that information is though.

    A similar question was asked in the past here about the Xbox 360:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbanswers/forum/xba_console/using-a-uk-xbox-360-in-the-usa/1db07657-18cb-4d78-9ace-2b9d88d6e5f9

    The answer that time was to get a US power brick, but for the Xbox One S, the power brick is internal.

    Hopefully somebody who has experienced this themselves will be able to come along and give you a reliable and safe answer.
