    Why can’t I change my country/region?

    Hello HarlDeb! I'm Khaji, happy to help you today.

    I hope to help you with your problem:

    You can change regions only if:

    -You have moved country.

    -If you are already in a different region than the one that has been established in your console account, if it is a temporary region, you are advised not to make the change.

    To change the region on your Microsoft Store account, you must keep in mind that you will not be able to use the purchases you made in the previous region in the new region, in addition, as the balance you have cannot be transferred to the new region. So make sure you spend it before changing regions:

    To change the region on your console, follow these steps on your console:

    To do it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S:

    — Sign in to your Xbox console.

    — Press the Xbox button to open the guide on your console.

    — Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Language & location.

    - Select your new country or region, if you also need to change the language of the region you must do so in this same process by selecting the language.

    To do it on Xbox 360 follow these steps:

    In the case of Xbox 360, you will need to migrate the Xbox profile you want to change the region to, this will affect the subscriptions and services you have active in that profile:

    — Log in to your account:

    You must add a new credit card for the region next to the new billing address you will have.

    — Then go to Settings and then select System.

    — Next, you will select Console Settings > Regional and Language Settings > Regional Settings.

    Finally, select the locale you want to use.

    For more information about changing regions, you can visit the following link:

    Best regards, Khaji.

    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & Discord Nitro claim error.

    Wondering if you can change to the eligible region/country to claim the subscription but i’ve seen that my location is set to the US and can’t claim it.

    Can I buy the xbox game pass from europe?

    If you can’t change country or region, it might be for one of these reasons:

    • You changed the country or region within the last three months.
    • Your account is suspended. For example, the credit card on a subscription has expired, or your subscription has a balance due.
    • You’re legally a minor in your current country or region and won’t be a minor in the new region, or vice-versa.
    For more info on the region change have a look in the link below.
