    Xbox One S purchased in another country?


    I am currently living outside the US. And I am considering getting an Xbox One S here. But can I continue to use this same device when I return to the US?

    I am specifically worried about 1) any region lock placed on devices, and 2) power supply. To elaborate on concern no. 2, the country I'm currently staying and the US have different voltages for electronic devices. Would I be able to buy an American adapter
    or something from Microsoft?

    I am very new to Xbox. Help me.

    :)

    I recently upgraded to XB1 per the upgrade Mission, but still haven't received my 50k reward points.

    I'm going to brace you before the official response because I have had problems about the One S upgrade as well; you will not be eligible for the 50K points unless you already had an Xbox One and purchased another Xbox One S. Best of luck on the rest.

    Xbox One to Xbox One S Upgrade Offer

    I purchased an Xbox One, then a couple weeks later purchased an Xbox One S. I should be eligible for the

    Microsoft Store Xbox One S Offer
    in Xbox Live Rewards, but I'm not seeing my 50,000 points. Please let me know what I need to do, thanks!

    Xbox One S purchased in another country?

    Hey there!

    Thanks for posting!

    For concern #1: The Xbox One console is not region locked. Assuming the games you own are available in the regions you will be located in, you will not have any problems playing them in either region. Within the Xbox One settings, you can
    manually set which location you are in as well!

    For concern #2: The Xbox One S console specifically has a 110V-240V power supply within the console itself. This will allow you to freely move your console between different regions. Depending on the region you're currently located in, you
    may need to purchase a different power supply cable to fit into US power sockets.

    If you do fall into that situation, you do have the option to replace the cable through Microsoft Device Support after registering the Xbox One S console you purchase as long as the shipping address is your US address. While that option is there, it may
    be easier to order a separate compatible cable online.

    Hope that helps clear it up, let us know if you have any further questions.

    Xbox One Functionality in Spain

    For the Xbox One (not S or X) to work in another country, you will need another power brick for that country. The thing is Microsoft no longer manufacture the power bricks any more, so your only options are to use a power converter (not recommended), or
    purchase a new Xbox one S or X.

    Yes, you cannot put games from another country into a USA Xbox. You will need to return the Xbox and purchase one in your country.

    Region Locked Games

    Sorry, just a followup.

    I guess what I am asking is this part:

    If I purchase a game in one country or region, can I play it in another country or region?

    Yes. There is no playback restriction on games purchased and downloaded.

    For example, if you purchase and download a game in one country and then move to another country where the game isn’t available, you can still play the game that you downloaded. However, you would not be able to redownload the game you purchased, as
    it would not be available for you to download in the Store.


    Now, just because. I purchased the game in one country, but WILL DOWNLOAD THE GAME in another country. Will that work?

    German version of destiny the collection

    Are buying a digital copy as a gift to someone else another region other than yours? Or do you own the game and playing on a different console in another region?

    This is from Xbox website regarding playing a game in a different region.

    If I purchase a game in one country or region, can I play it in another country or region?

    Yes. There is no playback restriction on games purchased and downloaded.

    For example, if you purchase and download a game in one country and then move to another country where the game isn’t available, you can still play the game that you downloaded. However, you would not be able
    to redownload the game you purchased, as it would not be available for you to download in the Store
