WWE 2K25 early access is right around the corner especially if you live in New Zealand. 2K Games' release schedule has favored the Kiwis, as they'll get even earlier access than the rest of the world.
What if we told you: you can actually take advantage of this early access period yourself? A trick as old as time, console players can tinker with some in-game settings to unlock the early access period of WWE 2K25, well, earlier.
How To Play WWE 2K25 Early Access With New Zealand Trick
As mentioned, 2K Games will be releasing early access of 2K25 at midnight in every region. Naturally, since we're dealing with different time zones, New Zealand will be the first country to access all the new content available with this year's edition.
You can take advantage of this relatively easily. Granted, you need to pre-order either the Bloodline or Deadman editions of WWE 2K25 for it to work.
Xbox
For Xbox users, it's super simple, as you only need to change your location to New Zealand. Follow these steps to pull it off.
- On your Xbox, head to Settings
- Select the System option
- Go to Language and Location
- Change location to New Zealand
- Restart your Xbox
PlayStation
PlayStation works a little differently. The purchase is tied to the account's region, meaning that changing your consoles won't do a thing. Instead, you'll have to create a brand-new account and set New Zealand as your country.
If you're keen on playing 2K25 early, go to the PSN account creation site, and when you're asked to input your country of origin, select New Zealand then follow the necessary steps. Do note, that you'll have to purchase the game with this account and deal with any currency conversions as well.
So that's pretty much all you need to do on either PlayStation or Xbox to get yourself extra early access to WWE 2K25. Definitely worth doing if you're a super fan and want to start exploring The Island as soon as possible.
