Dead Island 2 release time and date are rapidly approaching, and Xbox slayers who understand how to use the New Zealand trick in settings can get an early access pass to play the game, here is all you need to know
Dead Island 2 can presently be preloaded on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, however, PC users are not given the same opportunity.
To begin beheading rotting, live corpses as soon as the game is out, console owners should pre-order and download it straight away.
Dead Island 2 New Zealand release date and time trick to play early
Fans have been waiting for it to come out for almost ten years, and now they can get early access on Xbox by switching Los Angeles for New Zealand.
When does Dead Island 2 release?
The countdown for the release of Dead Island 2 is set for April 21 at 00:00 PDT, 00:00 EST, and 00:00 BST.
The aforementioned PlayStation and Xbox operation hours were taken from the official deadislandgame Twitter. On April 21, the PC launch window should be the same as for consoles.
Unfortunately, if you’re playing on a PC, the Deep Silver sequel is now only accessible through the Epic Games store. Although no Steam debut has been officially announced as of this writing, it might launch on Steam in six to twelve months.
Another disappointment is the lack of cross-play between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. It’s a little sad, but there is cross-gen co-op possible between last and current-gen, so Xbox One and Series X/S and PS4 and PS5 can also play together.
How to play Dead Island 2 early with New Zealand release time?
Xbox users can download Dead Island 2 early by using the simple New Zealand release window and time hack.
Dead Island 2 will be available in New Zealand starting on April 21 at 00:00 NZDT, according to the Microsoft shop for Xbox.
The game will launch on April 20 at 5:00 PDT, 08:00 EST, and 13:00 BST if you change your location to New Zealand, go to the game’s website on the Microsoft shop, and adjust your time.
The game must be pre-ordered on Xbox One or Series X/S for this technique to function. If you have pre-ordered and pre-loaded the game, all you need to do is follow the steps listed below once the aforementioned hours have passed:
- Select Settings
- Click System
- Proceed to Language and Location
- Change Location to New Zealand
- Reset Xbox console
