### How to Play Early Using the New Zealand Trick

If you’re not in New Zealand, there’s a way to play the game a day early. This trick only works for PlayStation, Xbox, and the Xbox PC app—not for Battle.net or Steam.

Here’s what to do:

– On PC: Change your region to New Zealand and update your Call of Duty account with a New Zealand address.
– On Xbox: Switch your console’s region to New Zealand and update your call of duty account with a New Zealand address.
– On PlayStation: Change your call of duty account’s address to a New Zealand location.

Once you’ve made these changes, you can access the game earlier. Here are the expected early access times:

| Timezone | Earliest Launch Time | Date |
|————|———————|————–|
| EST | 6 a.m. | November 13 |
| CET | 12 p.m. | November 13 |
| GMT | 11 a.m. | November 13 |
| KST | 8 p.m. | November 13 |
| JST | 8 p.m. | November 13 |

This method will give you access about a day before the official release, making it a handy trick if you want to start playing early.
