Is Xbox One's BC Region Free?

OP is talking about physical copy, not digital copy. Maybe it's different.
it's actually pretty complicated! most 360 games were region-free in the first place so it's not a big deal, but i think the region-locked ones may still be locked — sega was the big outlier in my collection. i don't have any compatible OG xbox games to test with.
as for downloading games, you may need to do a bunch of region-switching bank account gymnastics that isn't required for regular XB1 games, but it's doable if you have a card from the region originally associated with your live account. it's probably fine if you're not in my specific situation, ie having moved to another country a decade ago in the 360 era and carried that account over to the XB1.

Should work. Though I only tested with my Japanese copy of Lost Odyssey on an Australian Xbox One.
*Japanese Copy and not the Asian version with English audio/subs that worked on PAL consoles
