    Why does this Xbox insist that I am in the United Kingdom and give me no option to change it??


    I just purchased the Xbox series x and throughout the setup I saw no where that I could have possibly told it that I was in the uk, but now that I am trying to set up a payment form for game pass, it's showing me foreign currency amounts and giving me no option to choose my actual place of birth which is the United states. This is very frustrating

    :)

    I purchased it in the US of course at a retail store. But I've found where I can change everything finally.

    It took me about 30 seconds once I went on YouTube to solve this problem.

    But thanks for the effort.

    What retailer did you purchase it from? You are physically in the United States?

    Wished Forza Horizon 4: future versions also offering international versions or options for right traffic

    It would be a good option, personally I was not very affected it was a matter of a couple of hours getting used to it, but if it gives a special touch that changes since it is in the United Kingdom
