Recently, foreign media reported that some Xbox users were banned by Microsoft for using VPN to purchase games from Xbox stores in lower-priced areas.

Microsoft Xbox has been more tolerant of such purchases for years, but recently Microsoft has begun to impose stricter regulatory measures on such abuse in stores.At present, the number of players affected by this measure is limited.

The banned user received a warning from Microsoft that their behavior was "fraudulently obtaining or using Xbox content" by "taking advantage of pricing differences between regions or countries outside the account's region or country."Interestingly, many of the banned users were later unblocked and their membership was restored.

Foreign media pointed out that this problem is not easy to solve.Companies may raise the price of games in certain regions to avoid users taking advantage of price differences, thus aligning with larger markets.Sony has taken a similar approach recently.

On the other hand, there is no clear provision in Xbox's terms of service that players are prohibited from using VPNs to purchase games across regions.Therefore, technically, players' practices do not violate the terms of service.But compared with the past, the risks have increased significantly.
