  1. Regional lockout


    Hey guys,

    I live in South Africa and would like to find out if there will be any issues (regional lockout) if I buy a Xbox One S in the US and bring it home. Consoles are just so much cheaper there.

    Cheers, thanks for the help.

    :)

    If Xbox LIVE is not supported in your country how exactly are you getting on Xbox LIVE? Circumventing regional lockouts is a violation of the Terms of Service agreement.

    The original Xbox as well as the Xbox 360 are region-locked, although it is up to the publisher if a game is region-free or not. A number of games are region-free and will play on a unit from any region. Digital content through Xbox Live are also region-locked,
    such as DLC, movies, and apps.

    A regional lockout (or region coding) is a class of digital restrictions management preventing the use of a certain product or service, such as multimedia or a hardware device, outside of a certain region or territory. A regional lockout may be enforced
    through physical means, through technological means such as detecting the user's IP address or using an identifying code, or through unintentional means introduced by devices only supporting certain regional technologies (such as video formats, i.e. NTSC and
    PAL).

    Can we play a US game disc on a EU Xbox One X ?

    Hi,

    There are no regional restrictions/lockouts for Xbox One or Series X games. Only backwards compatible 360 and original Xbox games have said restrictions.

    Pasarme Región [Translation: Pass me Region]

    Hey there Mass! Lockouts from changing region and such apply to the time as well. So, for example, if you changed your region on January 20th at 3:15pm, then you need to wait until April 20th at 3:15pm.
