    Is the Xbox One or One X Region Locked?


    Hello, I will be moving from Japan to the U.S. If I purchase an Xbox one or a One X from Japan, will I be able to use it in the U.S and play U.S games? Or are the Xbox One and One X region Locked?

    :)

    Hi,

    Yes, there are no regional locks on Xbox One hardware or peripherals. Your Controller will work on any Xbox One. It will also work on the Series X/S too.

    Hello, I will be moving from Japan to the U.S. If I purchase an Xbox one or a One X from Japan, will I be able to use it in the U.S and play U.S games? Or are the Xbox One and One X region Locked?
    No, the console from a disc perspective is not region locked. And baring a plug with a ground (which I do not think the US plug has) the power adapter should also work in Japan as the power requirements are the same. The only think you will need to make
    sure to do is change your purchase region to Japan from the US to purchase content locally there for digital games.

    Thank you for your answer. One more follow up question. I downloaded a digital version of Halo 5 on an old xbox one when it came out. Will I be able to re download Halo 5 and any other games and or content that I purchased digitally on my old Xbox one? Once
    I change my region of course.

    Hello IsaacMaes,

    Everything you need to know can be found
    >here<


    What you need to know before you change your country/region

    Moving your country/region for your Microsoft account may affect your services and subscriptions. The following is what you need to know about changing your country/region:

    • Your Xbox profile information
      Your gamertag, unlocked achievements, and the rest of your Xbox profile info moves with you.
    • The money in your Microsoft account
      The funds in your Microsoft account will notmove with you. Be sure to spend the money in your account before you change your account location. We can’t transfer money between regions.
    • Your Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass subscription
      Any time left on your Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass subscription will move with your account to the new country/region.

      If Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions aren’t available in your new country/region, your current subscription will remain active but might not work anymore.

      Learn more about countries where subscriptions are available

    • If you find your subscription no longer works, cancel it to stop recurring billing. To cancel your subscription, see How
      to cancel your Xbox subscription.
    • Other subscriptions may not be available in your new country/region
      If you have other subscriptions (such as online role-playing games that require a third-party subscription), they will remain active in the new country/region but may no longer work. Check with the publisher of your subscription for availability
      information.

      If you have recurring billing, you’ll still be charged until you cancel the subscription.

    Hi again IsaacMaes,

    Yes, you will have access to any games you purchased on your Xbox Live account. All purchases you make are permanently linked to your account so you will be able to redownload it when you moved to the USA. If you have a digital game and it doesn't show
    up under your ready to install list you can redownload it from your order history here Payment & billing.
