Why do you need VPNCity on Xbox One?
For majority of Xbox One users, a VPN is needed to bypass restrictions on location and unlocking content on certain websites. With a VPN, content that is generally restricted because of your location will then be available to you; this includes games, apps, and videos too!
VPNs are also a big hit in streaming videos from Netflix and YouTube.
With the correct configuration, a VPN can significantly lower gaming latency depending on the location you select that best suits your game servers.
