    Xbox games region locks


    If I buy a game from one region, will that game work on my Xbox which has a different region then the region I bought that game from with online multiplayer support?

    -e.g like I buy halo mcc digitally from Microsoft store with local currency in Pakistan, will that game work on my Xbs S whose region is set in USA?

    :)

    XBOX 360 PAL TO NTSC COUNTRY

    The region locks technically aren't even NTSC/PAL locks because such a differential does not exist within the console. The games are just coded with a region lock. When a region locked game is loaded on a console from another region, it will display an
    error message. If a game is region free, it does not look for what region the console comes from and continues to run. The region lock outs for Xbox 360 games these days are down to the publishers, nothing more.

    Xbox One on the other hand has no regional lock outs at all for disc games. You can play any Xbox One game on any Xbox One console. There are certain region locks for downloads, but that has nothing to do with NTSC and PAL.

    Got $20 on Microsoft account and cant buy NOTHING

    Both games are region locked

    Any resident evil or kinect game is region locked

    Anything that is triple a titles are region locked

    Since both games that are free this month isn't a major title there is no region lock on them

    For the best experience with live your account region must match your actual region

    However you don't live in an Xbox live region

    There is no way to refund prepaid currency cards

    You will have to find a game that isn't region locked

    Most triple a titles are though
