Region lock or something? Philippines

  • So my microsoft store will direct me to Philippine Microsoft either website or the MS store. It says it's not available. Does this mean I am region locked or I can buy it on US store if I change the link to en-us instead of en-ph? please respond ty. I couldn't find answers in the forums.

  • I'm from Chile and bought it in the US Microsoft Store because it was cheaper for me, the only downside to this is that you have to wait until it's available to play in the region you bought it from to start playing.

  • @meimeiow Its something to do with the staged release i imagine...

  • @casasbellas well I could buy it from US store (I think) since the button 59.99USD is clickable. Just not sure if it works and I don't wanna buy it and then it's not gonna be refundable. It'll be a long process to do that.

    here it says not available but if I change the "en-ph" to "en-us" it works. So can I buy it from the US store? Is it gonna lock me out if i bought US copy?

  • @meimeiow i’m not sure. You can contant support.microsoft.com

    A few days ago I asked if I was going to be able to play it with a friend in a different country and I got this answer from support.

    So I don't think it's going to be a problem

  • @beanmariocow I'm pretty sure the game released in Singapore timezone. It is close to my country and it should be available in my time as well but it isn't. If I change the website link to US store it would let me purchase the game as the button is not faded out. But PH store says Not Available. I'm confused and worried If I buy it from US store, it won't work.

  • @casasbellas I get this but i couldn't buy the game since it says Not Available.

  • Has anyone managed to buy the game successfully from the Philippines yet?

    I tried already purchasing thru the US Store, change my region settings, used all my credit cards and all that, but I always get an error on confirming the purchase. I also tried purchasing a key from amazon, and it's region locked too, I get errors when purchasing.

    Was this game available for pre-order from our local Philippine region in the Microsoft Store? Bakit kung ganun bakit hindi pwede ngayon released na?

    Ang remaining option na lang ay thru g2a, but it's expensive 4000+pesos, and too risky.
