From CNET: Microsoft's Xbox One has finally landed in China, though at least a few popular games are off-limits due to government restrictions.
The launch kicked off Monday with a special limited edition of the gaming console dubbed "China Day One," according to Chinese website WPDang, as reported by WPCentral. Up for grabs across more than 4,000 retail outlets in China, this edition comes with the Kinect sensor and includes several free games, notably Kinect Sports Rivals, Forza Motorsport 5, Powerstar Golf, and Neverwinter Online.
Other titles available to Chinese gamers are Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Dance Central Spotlight, Rayman Legends, Trials Fusion, Naughty Kitties, and Zoo Tycoon.
Peruse the list of the 10 current titles, however, and you won't see such popular games as Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition, and Destiny. And there's a reason for that. Games must be approved by the Chinese government before consumers can get their hands on them. But Chinese regulators are wary of games with violent content, according to Bloomberg. And that may prove problematic.
