To understand the need for a "region-free" solution, one must first grasp the concept of region locking. In the era of physical media, console manufacturers and publishers would often divide the world into regions and encode game discs to only work on consoles from that specific area. This practice was used to control release dates, pricing, and distribution. For Xbox 360, the world was generally split into NTSC-U/C (North America), PAL (Europe and Australia), and NTSC-J (Japan). A Japanese game would typically not play on a North American console, and vice versa. This meant that fans who imported games, often to play them months before their local release, were frequently left unable to play their purchases.
