Windows 10: Why are some games not available in my country's microsoft store?

I went to buy yakuza 0 from the store but it wasnt available specifically in the Egyptian store, however yakuza 1 & 2 are available for me.you cant buy yakuza 8 but you can buy the how to play guide.So it shouldn't be licensing or censoring issue. This happened with a couple of other games too.

I cannot change country for Microsoft Store

Hi Adam,

I'm Evett an Independent Adviser, willing to assist you with your issue.

You are required to select the region and country you are living in at the moment of Windows installation on your PC. You can find apps available in your region at the prices based on your location on the Windows Store. I suggest you follow the steps from the
article below to change the country or region for Microsoft Store: Change your country or region in Microsoft Store

Using games from the microsoft store

Based on the results you've obtained, this can be an issue with the Windows Store which affects the digital games you’ve downloaded from it. We suggest manually resetting the Windows Store cache. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
• Type WSReset.exe and click OK.
• The Store and a command prompt will now open with any message. The command prompt will automatically close after the Store's cache has been reset.

Once done with the reset, kindly click this
link and follow the steps on how to check for updates for apps and games from Windows Store. Search if there are any updates available for the affected game.

Keep us updated with the progress.

 

Windows Store is not available in your country or region

I don't think there is any country or region when you won't see people are not running Windows. In each country in the world there are number of devices running on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and these devices required Microsoft Store so user could
gain the ultimate experience. Sometimes, you received this error of Windows Store is not available because of some technical and temporary errors and sometimes it is not supported at all.

If you are seeing message when Windows Store is not available in your country , because it is not supported please do the following steps:

1) Press Me Too for the original discussion

2) Check replies and if the name of country is already added , then press
Me Too there, otherwise, reply to the store and write "Windows Store is not available in <Name of the Country>"
replace <Name of the country> with the name of your country.

You could run a test, but changing your country in Country and region setting of Windows and open the Store and if yousee this message either add the name of country (if not reported) or support it with
Me Too.
