Ah, folks, ya ever get all excited to play somethin’ new and then they tell ya, “Oh, gotta wait a whole day!”? Makes ya feel like a kid waitin’ for harvest time! But for them playin’ Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on consoles like PlayStation or Xbox, there’s a little trick folks are talkin’ about. They call it the “New Zealand trick.”
So what’s the big deal? Well, ya know, New Zealand’s out there in a timezone that’s ahead of most places. Midnight there is still the day before in lotsa other spots. And what some clever folks figured out is, if ya just act like you’re in New Zealand on your console, you can play the game early. Fancy, right?
Here’s how it goes:
- Step 1: First, you go to your console’s settings. For folks on Xbox, it’s a bit of pokin’ around, but head to where it lets ya change the region.
- Step 2: Change your region to New Zealand. Just pretend ya live right there with the sheep and the hobbits.
- Step 3: Once ya done that, restart the console. This tells the system you’re all set up as a Kiwi now.
- Step 4: Head back to the game page, and when it’s time to launch at midnight in New Zealand, bam! Ya can jump right in!
Now, if yer thinkin’ this is too good to be true, well, for PlayStation folks, it’s actually a bit easier! You don’t need to fiddle as much. Just set your PlayStation account region to New Zealand when ya set it up or buy the game from the New Zealand PlayStation Store.
But here’s the kicker! This here trick won’t work if you’re on PC playin’ through places like Steam or *. Them companies, well, they don’t let ya switch regions that easy, even if you beg. Only if yer usin’ the Microsoft Store version on PC will ya have any luck, but that’s a rare one!
Now, some folks worryin’, “Am I gonna get banned?” Well, reckon there’s always that worry, but up ‘til now, most players pullin’ this trick haven’t faced any issues. Seems like the big companies kinda let it slide.
Why? Maybe they like the excitement it brings, or they know it’s just some good ol’ fun. Either way, you can get a jump on all yer buddies and start rankin’ up on that Black Ops 6 leaderboards before most even have a chance to load up the game!
So, for all you anxious ones out there, go ahead and give that New Zealand trick a try. Just remember to reset yer console back to normal once ya done, or ya might find yerself payin’ New Zealand prices for games and content! And trust me, them prices ain’t small!
Well, there ya go, that’s the New Zealand trick in a nutshell. It’s a cheeky little thing, but when ya want in on that Black Ops action early, sometimes ya just gotta get a little creative, right?
Now, get out there, set them settings, and happy gamin’!
