Xbox also gave a disclaimer saying that “games and availability are subject to change,” which sounds a lot like region locking could be a potential issue for some of the games offered.
If you do not see some of your favorite Xbox 360 games listed, do not worry too much. Xbox plans on adding hundreds of other games in the coming months, and it assures users that “fans can submit what titles they’d like to see added via Xbox Feedback, and Xbox will work with game publishers to continue to release new titles regularly.”
