The upcoming launch is officially being released on PC and the current-gen consoles of both Xbox and PlayStation.

For starters, this method is only usable if you’re on an Xbox console. If you’re on PlayStation, this method isn’t going to work. If you’re on PC, the game will go live simultaneously across all regions.

Once the new location has been registered, your console will show the time and date as if you (or your console) were actually located in New Zealand. Once the clock strikes midnight in New Zealand, you’ll be able to enjoy the game.
