Firstly, why I am posting this? As a result of it is a matter, that’s ignored an excessive amount of. Perhaps this doesn’t have an effect on you, however but it nonetheless impacts tons of avid gamers all over the world. In order that’s why we have to combat on this case collectively and get Microsoft consideration. As a result of in the event that they actually care about all of the avid gamers, that is the place they should begin to make adjustments.
So to the subject, the final time that Xbox expanded their assist was in 2014 when Slovakia and the Center East continent received Xbox Reside… 9 years in the past… There are tons of avid gamers in these but unsupported international locations that might like to get pleasure from Xbox video games, Xbox companies and different Xbox stuff, however they can not with out utilizing VPN, altering areas and utilizing faux handle in a supported nation. (And tons of informal avid gamers is not going to even do this).
I am from Europe and in a rustic that’s an EU member. There are 9 international locations inside EU that presently wouldn’t have assist, and 19 international locations in the entire Europe (Record right here) this already is not a small market and the place is the remainder of the world. Briefly Xbox formally assist lower than 50 international locations based mostly on their official listing.
The Humorous factor is, tons of these international locations (that don’t have any Xbox) have full assist on Steam, Epic, GOG, Origin… Spotify, YouTube Premium, Netflix, HBO, Disney+ and so on. All totally formally supported. Even for PS and Sony companies and Nintendo and theirs…
However yeah, I do know. That is not honest, Microsoft is that this tiny little begin up that may’t develop into a worldwide model over 10 years. And I am performing like they’re one of many largest companies on the planet or one thing. Sorry /s
TL;DR: Xbox formally assist lower than 50 international locations and the final time they expanded was virtually 10 years in the past.
