How To Play Monster Hunter Wilds Early With the New Zealand Trick

Mar 18,2025 Author: Lillian

Get ready to hunt! Monster Hunter Wilds launches globally on Friday, February 28th, but some regions get a head start. Here's how to play early using the New Zealand trick.

How to Play Monster Hunter Wilds Early on Xbox Series X|S

The easiest way to jump into Monster Hunter Wilds early is with your Xbox Series X|S. Xbox makes it simple to change your console's region, effectively shifting your time zone and granting early access. Here's how:

  1. Navigate to your Xbox settings.
  2. Go to the System tab, then Language & Location.
  3. Change your Location to New Zealand.
  4. Restart your Xbox for the changes to take effect.

That's it! You should now be able to play Monster Hunter Wilds alongside the earliest launch regions.

How to Play Monster Hunter Wilds Early on PlayStation and PC

Playing Monster Hunter Wilds Early on PlayStation and PC

While not as straightforward as on Xbox, playing early on PlayStation and PC is still possible, though it requires a bit more effort. Since region changes don't work the same way, you'll need a separate account:

  1. Create a new PSN or Steam account using a New Zealand address.
  2. Purchase Monster Hunter Wilds on this account using New Zealand dollars (NZ$). Note that the NZ$ price might be slightly higher than the USD equivalent. You may need to use a third-party site for NZ$ gift cards depending on your payment method.

The game launches earliest in Auckland, New Zealand, at 12 AM NZDT. This translates to 6 AM the previous day in New York and 3 AM PST. Using the New Zealand trick, US players can gain almost a full day of head-start gameplay, beginning Thursday, February 27th.

There you have it! Now you know how to use the New Zealand trick to play Monster Hunter Wilds early. Happy hunting!
