    Moving Xbox One from Canada to UK


    Hello,

    I am a student from Canada who will be studying in Scotland, UK. I am planning to take my Xbox One with me. With this in mind, I have a few questions.

    1. Will I still be able to connect to UK Xbox live with my Canadian account, as well as play games online?

    2. If I purchase games for the Xbox One while in the UK, will they play? Are Xbox One games region locked?

    Thank you.

    :)

    Morning all.

    I will be moving to Canada early next year. I have an Xbox one and need to know if i need to buy a new Xbox one or if Microsoft have a power supply unit.

    I don't really want to use a step up transformer.

    I understand that the games wont be an issue but that may be wrong.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. Your account will still be able to connect to Live no matter where you live.

    2. From what I understand retail disc games for the Xbox One will be region free but your gamertag will still need to be set to Scotland with a valid local form of payment in order to purchase digital games so be sure to migrate your account when you head
    there.

    I would also recommend contacting phone support to see about getting a proper power brick for your console to prevent power issues before heading out there.

    To contact phone support dial 1-800-469-9269

    Hi there

    you can't change the consoles region, you can only change your accounts region.

    Which does mean that games currently on the console or on a UK disc will still work, but when you buy disc based games in Canada they might not work due to region differences (Console vs Disc)

    Also be aware that changing your accounts region will have some possible consequences, see this link for the information:

    You may alternatively try to get a confirmation email instead, if you still have access to it. If you are not able to trigger the email confirmation by yourself you may phone the support to have the phone number changed. They will send you that confirmation
    email then and can change your number then.
