General info :
A Region Free release can be played in all regions as it has no regional lockout.

A regional lockout (or region coding) is a class of digital rights management preventing the use of a certain product or service, such as multimedia or a hardware device, outside a certain region or territory. A regional lockout may be enforced through physical means, through technological means such as detecting the user's IP address or using an identifying code, or through unintentional means introduced by devices only supporting certain regional technologies (such as video formats, i.e., NTSC and PAL).

For bypassing region codes, there are software and multi-regional players available.

The DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and UMD media formats all support the use of region coding; DVDs use 8 region codes (Region 7 is reserved for future use; Region 8 is used for "international venues", such as airplanes and cruise ships), and Blu-ray Discs use 3 region codes corresponding to different areas of the world. Currently, most Blu-ray discs are region-free.
Unlike conventional DVDs and Blu-rays, the new 4K format does not have region coding.

Most console video games have region encoding.

The main regions are:
Japan and Asia (NTSC-J)
North America and South America (NTSC-U)
Europe, New Zealand and Australia (PAL region)
China (NTSC-C)
