How to play Hogwarts Legacy early access

Exclusively on Xbox One, Hogwarts Legacy early access is accessible.

Unlike the PS5 and Series X/S, there is no 72-hour pre-order incentive. As a result, until May 5 no one can access the PS4 version of the game.

However, on May 4th, you can play the game early on the Xbox One by using the New Zealand release time trick:

  • Select Settings
  • Click System
  • Proceed to Language and Location
  • Change Location to New Zealand
  • Reset Xbox console

Since it starts at midnight local time everywhere on consoles, including New Zealand, the NZDT launch should correspond to 4:00 PDT, 7:00 EST, and 12:00 BST for the United States and the United Kingdom.
