- If you use Google Play,
you're missing out on some fantastic games and apps
which are only available in specific regions.
It can be kind of complicated
to change your Google Play country
and access region restricted content,
unless you have a VPN.
So I'm gonna show you
how to change Google Play country with a VPN.
You can do this,
even if you don't have a payment method for that region.
Plus, I'm gonna share a list of the best VPNs
for Google Play that rock at getting the job done.

So Google Play store uses IP address
to figure out your location
and automatically enters this detail
into your account settings.
If your IP address moves to a different country,
the option to change regions in Google Play
becomes available.
If you already have payment details
attached to your account,
you'll be asked for new payment information
from the country you're changing to,
which you might not have.
You also can't change the Google Play country
more than once a year.
Luckily, a VPN for a Google Play store
can get around these roadblocks.
Here's how to change the Google Play country
when you have a payment method using a VPN.
If you don't have a new payment method,
I'll explain how to deal with that as well.
So just keep on watching.
I'm gonna use NordVPN for this tutorial.
It has free trial if you sign up with an Android device
so it's ideal for using it with Google Play.
Download and install a VPN.
You can do this from the Google Play store.
My list of top VPN services for Google Play
is down in the description.
There's some massive discounts there as well.
Log into your VPN and connect to a server
in your desired location.
I'm gonna connect to a server in the UK.
Now you need to erase the data
about your Google Play store account from your phone.
Go to your phone settings and open the apps menu.
Scroll down to Google Play store,
select it and hit Force Stop..
Then select the app storage, hit Clear Data.
In Google Play store, go to your settings
and switch to your desired location.
Enter relevant payment details when they're asked for.
And it worked, Google play is now unblocked for that region.
To change Google Play store country
when you don't have payment details
for the region you want to access,
you'll need to create a new Google Play account.
You won't be able to use your normal Google account,
but you will be able to access geo restricted apps
without any payment details.
First, download and install one of the VPNs
from my list down in the description.
Next, you need to erase your Google account from your phone.
This doesn't delete the account,
it just removes it from your device.
Head over to the phone settings and find your accounts,
select your Google account and hit Remove.
You need to clear your cache too.
So head back to settings and find the apps menu.
Scroll down to Google Play store,
select it, then tap the Force Stop button.
Now select Google Play store storage and hit Clear Data.
Open the VPN, log in, and connect to your preferred country.
I'm selecting Japan this time.
Now open your Google Play and create a new account,
just skip adding payment details, and it's a win.
To change Google play region without a hitch,
I recommend these three VPN services,
NordVPN, Surfshark, and PrivateVPN.
They have the servers, the speeds,
and the geo unblocking power to excel at this task.
NordVPN is incredibly fast and secure.
It's a powerful Google Play VPN.
Change country to any of these locations,
and speeds generally remain fast enough
for gaming and downloading.
It has an impressive lineup of security extras.
You can connect with up to six devices at once
and payment plants are very reasonable,
plus there's that seven day free trial on Android.
Surfshark is also one of the fastest VPNs around.
It has lots of servers and locations.
It offers all the security staples, plus some punchy extras,
including a setting specifically designed
for getting you around firewalls and geoblocks.
There's no limit on how many devices you can connect with.
The long-term pricing plan is a bargain
and there's a seven day free trial for mobile devices.
PrivateVPN isn't as fast or feature packed
as NordVPN and Surfshark,
but it's minimalistic and super easy to use.
There are lots of locations to pick from,
speeds are fast enough for most tasks,
and security is exceptional.
One account allows you to connect with six devices.
It's really budget friendly
and there's even a seven day free trial on all devices.
Each of these VPNs is available
at a massive discount right now.
So go ahead and grab it,
it's in the description while it's hot.
