Is 8am EST 9/8 the earliest you can play 2K23 if you do the NZ Trick?

Like the title says... if you do the NZ timezone trick, is the earliest you can play the game 8am EST? 9/8??

I know it worked for me on XBox One a few years ago but not sure if it still does or if it’ll work on PS5/XBox Series X

Pretty sure it’ll still work.

No harm in giving it a shot. I just updated my system to Wellington time so we’ll see tomorrow morning

Don’t think it works on PS5 at least. Still says I have 1 day and 9 hours till I can play

Apparently you have to purchase the game from a NZ PS account for it to work. Ah well

Yes 8am eastern is the same time as midnight New Zealand. With the game coming out at midnight in each region the NZ trick should work. Usually the only time it doesn’t work is when a game gets release that is staggered to make sure the game is released simultaneously everywhere.

Will you be able to change back and does the game become region locked?

Been doing this for years on Xbox for 2k and other games. Never had a problem, just don't purchase anything while you're switched to New Zealand. It'll cost you more because it's NZD and not USD.

I’d do this but I need the physical version so I can trade it in the next year. $8 is $8
