Region change question

FIRE OF ELISHA · Jan 1, 2015

I recently changed my region to The Bahamas that I've come to find out is unsupported.I understand that I have to wait 3 months before I can change and up to one month for the change to take effect.my question is when it does change. Will I just loose access
to the Xbox store and features or will I also not be able to use Xbox live multiplayer as well.all my games arw digital will I still have full access to them as well?

Xbox music thinks i'm on holidays abroad..

Hi Rook!

Alright, so did you pay for an Xbox Music Pass? If so, when you change regions, that subscriptions is, unfortunately, auto-cancelled.

If you wish to change your region, you can do so at our
Change the region of your Xbox LIVE account support article.

Let us know if you have anymore questions. Cheers!

If you can, migrate the account over to the US. If you have any questions, refer to:

Hello Fire of Elisha!

When changing regions for your Xbox live profile, there can be times when you loose access to certain content such as Xbox Live Gold access and certain games licenses. That being said, you may still be able to keep many of the games that are saved to your
profile. And you may also get to keep you Live subscription. Just know that in some cases, changing region can affect these 2 things. Are you able to access your content currently?

as of today i seem to still have full access to xbox live and its featires however i'm not sure if the region change has taken effect as of yet. as they said it could take anywhere from 1 day to 90 days. i do notice that certain xbox webpages i used to visit
not show me being in the bahamas region instead of us however where can i go to be 100% sure that the change has taken effect?

Ok so the change has taken effect and I thought I'd update to let other users know. If you change yourbregion to one that is officially unsupported you will loose 99% access to Xbox live. No demos no sales there won't even been anything in your dashboard.
You won't be able to download the games you already own however what ever games are on your HD will work 100% fine. And other accounts on your Xbox that are in a supported region will still have 100% full access to all of Xbox live. Your apps will still work
and your multiplayer will still work and you will still be able to update a game. However you will not be able to access any aspect of the marketplace. So no dlc either. So if you have changed your account region by accident get to downloading RIGHT NOW! All
the games your gonna want to hold onto until the 3months window opens again..

To explain it easiest

Any bc compatible game from the US account that you downloaded successfully with official methods will not be region locked therefore can be downloaded without issue when you migrate

However anything you couldn't before won't be transfered

For the best experience with xbox live your account region must reflect your actual region

The Xbox One is region free, so you should be able to play any game on there regardless of region. Your 360, however, is different. There is no guarantee that your games will continue to function properly if you change regions.
