    Is my account region locked or what?


    Hello,

    I was wondering if my account is region locked? I've changed it for the first time to Turkey, just to make use of my TRY Gift cards. I mean, I have the amount on my account, but I cannot buy anything. It just some error to match account region and Microsoft store region. When I have on WIN11 selected Turkey on Web Turkey, on XBOX SERIES X Turkey, and on my phone Turkey. I even am in Turkey right now, so why this is not working? In the meantime I've changed to Poland and again to Turkey, nothing seems working here. Can someone help me? I am aware of some sort of locking for 3 months, but I didn't received any warning that I cannot do it. And please stop linking this page :

    https://support.microsoft.com/pl-pl...icrosoft-ca603a8a-7123-3fa1-d1e8-4043f75f2f31 it's useless for me and this to:

    Best regards, Marcin

    P.S. I probably move back to Poland in some time, but this is not the case right now.

    P.S. 2 Sorry if you cannot understand my English, I am mixed between UK and US.

    :)

    getting new codes after talking with support

    The codes themselves are universal, but the games are region locked. What region is your account set for and what region are you physically located in?

    In order to download region locked games, your account region has to match your physical location and you have to be in a region where the games are available.

    Gears of War 3 Promotional Code Not Working

    That game is region locked so generally it's a region issues. What region are you in and what region is your account set to?

    You may have to redeem it on another website. "TokenNotSupported" Alan wake code

    What region is your account set for and what region are you physically in? That game is region locked so usually it's a region issue.

    Alan Wake prepaid code (bundle)

    If you're in Austria, you need to migrate your account region to Austria in order to download the game.

    support.xbox.com/.../change-region
    Xbox One games are not region locked which is why Quantum Break downloaded fine, but Alan Wake is region locked. Since your account region was set to a region that is not supported by Live, that's what is causing the
    issue.
