Hogwarts Legacy New Zealand trick: how to play early

Harry Potter RPG, Hogwarts Legacy is almost here, but there’s a neat little trick you can pull to get access even earlier than normal.

Hogwarts Legacy, the game based on the Harry Potter series, is going to be in the hands of gamers very soon. It’s been confirmed by the Hogwarts Legacy Twitter account that the game will go live at 12am in your local timezone on February 7 for everyone who has early access.

If you live in the US, then this means you’ll be among the last in the world to get your hands on the game, but there is a way you can get it earlier. In fact, you can get it up to 21 hours earlier if you live on the west coast.

We’ll explain how to change the region of your console to New Zealand, which will trick the game into unlocking at Midnight New Zealand time, which is 3am PST on February 6.
