    hmmm
    Interesting question because I never had a xbox
    Some digging says you probably don't have to, tho chinese region exclusive games (if you ever want to try those out)won't be playable on foreign/Taiwan/Hongkong xbox, and chinese xbox store only fix the mainland xbox edition

    I play from Shenzhen on the Xbox One NA server, I've lived here for 18+ years though I'm British, not Chinese. I've played ESO here since launch on Xbox.

    You will need to use a VPN, the lag using the local connection makes the game very unstable (probably due to the 'Great Firewall'), even with a VPN you will not be achieving any dps records. PVP is ok too. I've played from the UK when I visit, and it's a lot slicker and more responsive, but from China the game is entirely playable.

    You will need to take a UK/US/Home spec Xbox, or buy one from Hong Kong to play ESO. Local China spec Xbox's will only connect to the local intranet. I originally brought mine over from the UK, but I bought a new X from Hong Kong last year and ESO runs on it fine.

    As a side note, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Whatsapp and all Google software products are banned here so you will also need a VPN to access any of those.

    My gamertag is The China Man51 if you want to add me to talk more.
