    Why are you now geolocking the Xbox one stores Microsoft?


    One of the original features of the xbox one was the ability to purchase, region free, games from other marketplaces, over the last few weeks, stores have started to have been geolocked, and now it seems they all are.

    Why has this been done now, when it was originally a feature.

    :)

    I thought I got a year of Xbox Live With A "Day One" Console ...

    You are right! You bought the "Xbox One Complete bundle" what includes: Xbox One plus 2 games PLUS 12 month GOLD membership! Still in store online for now $699.

    Why are you now geolocking the Xbox one stores Microsoft?

    The region-free nature of the games is supposed to apply to discs. I don't know about geolocking any online stores, but it's not a suggested/supported/recommended way of accessing games to be switching your account region and buying digital games from elsewhere
    and that's always been the case.

    What platform does the game in Xcloud belong to

    Francis forgot one thing

    Xgu only supports xlclpud in certain regioms

    Also.it's geolocked ao if you do not live in a supported region you can't access ir

    They are series x servers ao bc compatibility is limited to Xbox one and some 260 games on xcloud

    Xbox One S Geolock

    You will also want to make sure that your Microsoft account (and by extension the currency used for digital purchases) matches your correct region. Instructions for how to do so are here :
