As an avid gamer, you may be insatiable when it comes to collecting video games. You can never have too many, right?

Right. Said like a true addict.

But it can be frustrating when you see a title you like, go to purchase it, and…you’re denied.

Want to know a workaround?

Get a gaming VPN account.

How does it work?

When you use a VPN, or a virtual private network, you’re basically disguising your ISP (internet service provider). This means that when you log into a game, instead of it seeing your IP’s real location, it’ll see whatever country or state you choose.

So if that new game you want to play is region locked in your country, you can use a VPN to fool the system into thinking you’re located somewhere not on their blacklist. Open sesame! You’re in!

Added benefits of using a VPN for gaming

Not only can you unlock region-locked video games by using a VPN for gaming, but you also reap many other benefits.

One is added security. If you’re so good that you’re aggravating other players online, you may have a big red target painted on your back. Should you get DDoSed, you might as well say goodbye to gaming. Having a VPN ensures that doesn’t happen.

If you’re having problems with your ISP, you also may be able to lower your latency. And you can browse the internet anonymously, with no trace. A win-win situation, if you ask us.

Disclaimer!

Sure, you can use a VPN to access geo-locked games, but you have to be aware that many gaming platforms aren’t happy with you doing that. In fact, it may be against their Terms of Services. Why?

To prevent you from buying games and enjoying their value for a better price. Since the platforms deal in different currencies depending on where their customers are located, this opens the door for you using that to your advantage. If you use a VPN to appear as if you’re in a country with a weaker currency, such as Brazil, you can exploit that and buy a game for much cheaper.

So with this in mind, we advise you to think it over carefully before trying to use a VPN on a platform that forbids it. If you get caught, you can lose your entire account, including your games.

Try out VPNCity

When you game with VPNCity, you’ll get access to VPN located all over the world. This means there are endless possibilities when it comes to unlocking those games you want. Plus, our traffic is completely encrypted, meaning you’re 100% safe and secure when you use our VPN.

You can connect up to eight devices with VPNCity, and you get unlimited bandwidth, so you know what this means: crack your knuckles and get to downloading those games!
