Resident Evil Requiem is releasing in hours, but why should you wait for that long to play it? The game will first release in New Zealand on consoles, giving them a headstart over gamers from other regions. Thankfully, there is a small trick you can use to play alongside them early. Here is how to play Resident Evil Requiem early using the New Zealand trick.
How to Play Resident Evil Requiem on Xbox Series X/S?
Resident Evil Requiem can be played early on Xbox Series X/S by changing the region to New Zealand. Here is how you can do it:
- First, you have to open the console Settings on your Xbox device.
- Click on the System tab and select ‘Language and Location.’
- Change your location to New Zealand and reboot your console.
Now you will be able to play Resident Evil 9 on Xbox Series X/S early, at the same time as New Zealand console players.
How to Play Resident Evil Requiem Early on PS5?
To play Resident Evil Requiem on your PS5 early, you will have to follow the steps given below:
- Open your PlayStation and head into Settings.
- Open the Date and Time tab.
- Change your time zone to UTC+12:00 Wellington.
This should allow you to play Requiem on PlayStation 5 at the same time as New Zealand players. However, there is a chance that this method doesn’t work, in which case you will have to wait for the Resident Evil Requiem release time in your region. This method only works for the console, as the console timings are region-based, while the PC timings are kept constant.
