Typically, consumers need to concern about regions 1 to 6. With that being said, DVD region codes are separated and administered by geographic location, in which DVD discs in the US will be encoded in region 1 code. Usually, this is achieved by way of region-locked DVD players, which will play back only DVDs encoded to their region (plus those without any region code). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/en-us\/ps4\/\" title=\"PS4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>PS4<\/strong><\/a> is actually region free and is able to play back a game from a different country. <\/p>\n<p>However, if you are going to <b>play back region 1 DVD in the UK on PS4<\/b>, you will experience errors during playback, such as freezing because the DVD disc is region locked in region 1.
