    Xbox One region locked?


    I am hoping you guys can help me out with this.

    I am living in Europe, but own a US bought Xbox 360 and many US bought hard copy games. I am now thinking up upgrading to Xbox One. If I buy an Xbox One in Europe, will I still be able to play my US bought Xbox 360 games on it or will they be region locked?

    Thank you.

    :)

    Xbox One from the US (Region free? Advantages? Disadvantages?)

    The Xbox one is region free for games.

    But for DVD's and Blu-rays, it is region locked. So your Xbox from the states would only be able to play region 1 discs

    Are Xbox One games region free?.

    Hi people, i wanted to know if Xbox One games were region free, like if someone had to play only the base game and not the DLCs. Is an Xbox One game bought from one region going to run in another region?.

    Thank you.

    Xbox One region locked?

    Depends on the game

    Certain games like gears of war or cod blackops which require certain regions for their dlc and the language has to be the same

    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.

    Why can I download 360 games I own digitally on my xbox one but not on my xbox 360

    Keep in mind blackops specifically is region locked language locked and console region locked

    If you aren't matching all three conditions that would be why

    Xbox one consoles are region free but the same rules apply regardless to xbox 360 games
