Microsoft also said today that all Xbox One games will be region-free, a reversal of its policy on Xbox 360. The new Xbox One secondhand game policy is identical to that of the Xbox 360, and users won't have to check in over the internet at all in order to play offline single-player games. Those unpopular policies, which required online checks and limited the resale and use of used games, were tied to what Whitten called Microsoft's vision of the future, a future the console won't exactly be able to embrace with these changes. Today's surprise announcement, a nearly complete reversal of a set of policies almost universally hated by gamers, comes with a price, said Marc Whitten, corporate vice president of Xbox Live, in an interview with Polygon today.
