Hello everyone, Sotius here from FragMix and Xbox One will only launch in 21 countries...
Yep, you heard right, Xbox One will only be available on launch for 21 countries and there is no telling if or when it will be released in other countries.
So before I list which countries it will be available in, allow me to explain why...
As I am sure most of you know by now, playing games on the Xbox One requires you to 'check in' online every 24 hours, failure to do so will result in you being unable to play your game until you do so.
So what has this got to do with it not being launched in some countries you ask? Well it sounds like Xbox Live for the Xbox One will not be available in all countries at launch...
...meaning, without Xbox Live, you can't check in online and therefore can't play games at all in that geographical location, sucky right?
Microsoft state that countries not included in the list may take a while to get included...say...later in 2014...
So here is the list of countries that it WILL be available in on launch:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada...
...Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland...
...Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway...
...Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.
The most noticeable countries that are not included are China, Japan, Poland and many. many others.
The list may expand up to launch date but the likelihood of it involving all countries is very slim.
