Access Black Ops 7 Early with New Zealand Trick

Players eager to play Black Ops 7 ahead of its official release can use the New Zealand trick to gain early access. By setting their account and device locations to New Zealand, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC users can experience the game sooner.

Steps for PlayStation and Xbox

On both PlayStation and Xbox, players should change the location settings in their Activision account to New Zealand. On PlayStation 5, a New Zealand PSN account may be necessary if the Activision address change alone doesn’t work. However, note that progress and Trophies won’t carry over with the New Zealand PSN account. For Xbox, players need to update the console’s location settings in System > Language & Location.

PC Configuration Details

PC players must also adjust system settings to Auckland or Wellington time zones, ensuring the time zone is set manually rather than automatically. It is crucial to restart the PC and make sure that Call of Duty files are current after updating settings.

By following these steps, Black Ops 7 fans in any region can dive into the game ahead of schedule, enjoying it just as players in New Zealand can.
