Im about to buy an Xbox One X and need this question answered asap: Is it still allowed to have 2 users/accounts on the X, one Norwegian and one American, buy from the American account and play it on the Norwegian account?

Pretty much like the Switch and PS4?

You can have up to 16 accounts on the console.

But if you just want to buy from different regions just switch the region in the settings (guide -> settings (right side; the gear icon) -> system -> language and location) and you can use the same account for several regions. You need to enter one address and a valid payment option for every region (prepaid cards for local currency work best). CC and PayPal don't work in most cases.

Yeah, you don't need different region accounts like you do Switch/PS4. All games and DLC are region free (you don't need to match DLC region to the game region like on PS4 either). You just change the region in your Xbox settings and reset the console. You can then use that region's store.

Might need to buy gift cards from those other regions still. Your card may not be accepted on the console if it's the wrong region.
