How to Play Black Ops 6 Early (New Zealand Trick Method) – Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Guide

PlayStation Black Ops 6 New Zealand Trick

With PlayStation, there’s no setting your timezone or region on the console itself to make the BO6 NZ trick work. Instead, you’ll need to change the region on your Activision account that’s tied to your PlayStation console and see if that works. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Log into your Activision account on the official Activision website. If you haven’t connected your PlayStation account to Activision, click the PlayStation logo on the Activision login page.
2. Tap the blue ‘PROFILE’ button in the top-right to open your Profile page.
3. Select the ‘Basic Info’ tab on the left.
4. Click on ‘Edit’ next to your address.
5. Add a New Zealand address and change your location to New Zealand via the dropdown menu.
6. Click on ‘Save.’

If successful, you should be able to play Black Ops 6 once it launches in New Zealand, though this is an unproven method so there’s a possibility that it won’t.

Xbox Black Ops 6 New Zealand Trick

The Xbox New Zealand trick is similar to the PlayStation one in that you must set your Activision account region to NZ, but there’s an extra added step. With previous game launches, players have seen success using this method, but again, your mileage may vary, especially if you’re a Game Pass player.

1. On your PC/mobile, log into your Activision account on the official Activision website. If you haven’t connected your Xbox account to Activision, click on the Xbox logo on the Activision login page and follow the instructions.
2. Click on the blue ‘PROFILE’ button in the top-right to open your Profile page.
3. Click on the ‘Basic Info’ tab on the left.
4. Select ‘Edit’ next to your address.
5. Add a New Zealand address and change your location to New Zealand using the dropdown menu.
6. Click ‘Save.’
7. On your Xbox, navigate the ‘Settings’ menu via the left sidebar.
8. Scroll down to ‘System’ to open the System menu.
9. Click on ‘Language & location.’
10. Select ‘Location’ and click on New Zealand.
11. Click ‘Restart Now’ on the right to restart your Xbox console and save your changes.
