Taking my american Xbox One to Australia

A 2000 Watt step down converter should be sufficient. The Xbox One draws about 180 Watts on maximum, so you should be good to go.

Hello Lars,





As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.





Thanks,

Hi! I am moving from the US to Australia in a few weeks and want to get what I need ahead of time so it can be up and running as soon as I get there. I called Xbox support here in the states and they said that after I arrive I can call Australia
Xbox to get a new power cable but i don't want to wait so I was told that with the right power converter it could also work.

Here is my question - will a US purchased Xbox one work with a 2000 watt 220v to 120v step down coverter for laptops and other dual voltage items? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around watts and volts.

Thanks in advance!

The internal power supply of Xbox One work with both 220v and 110v so, if you use a cable with the right plug to put in the wall, you can use it witohut any issue.

Remember to switch your regione in your Microsoft Account from US to Australia and add a new valid address for future payment.

You may also have to think about migrating your region. I don't know if that is required or not.

I tried plugging the american one in with an adapter and my power brick sparked and smoked yesterday. Youre saying i cant get the power brick at a store here?

Lars, I would recommend starting your own thread if you're having a different issue, so that we can focus on the issue posted by the user that started this thread and not hijack it or get off track. As for the availability of an Xbox One power supply, I can't
say on the inventory availability of stores near you, but there are online and retail options available for replacements outside of the Microsoft or Xbox store.
