    Using an XBox console from one country, in a different country.


    I live in France and was sent an XBoxOneX console as a gift, from the USA. I am trying to set it up but cannot seem to find any information on:

    - Do I need some kind of voltage adapter in order to use the USA XBoxOneX console here in France, given the difference in voltage between the USA and Europe?

    - Or can I just use a plug adaptor on the USA plug on the power cord, and go ahead and plug it straight in?

    Any help is much appreciated!

    :)

    Hi,

    All Xbox consoles since the Xbox One S have been multi-voltage. This means they will work any country. The easiest way to connect your gifted console into the mains in France is to buy what's called a fig 8 power cable. You'll need one with French/Euro plug. The current power cable will have a US mains plug, so you can't use this.

    Figure 8 power cables can be bought online or from most electrical stores. For your country it Looks like this:

    Using XBox One in different country

    You should never use any type of power converter with your console.They can damage the console & void the warranty.

    If you want to use you console in a different country you need to buy the correct power brick for the country you are in.
