Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy is this week’s event. It will be available from February 10, on PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PC. But we can play it today.
The release date of Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy, a real event at the start of 2023, is officially set for Friday, February 10. But, did you know? There is a trick to play it today, Monday February 6, from 12 p.m. That’s four days early.
The trick in question, only reserved for owners of an Xbox Series S or an Xbox Series X, is possible thanks to three things: the existence of early access (which begins 72 hours before the launch, i.e. the Tuesday 7, from midnight), the time difference and the ability to quickly change the settings of your console to “locate” it in another country (without the need to go through a VPN).
Playing the Harry Potter video game 4 days before is possible
What do I need?
- An Xbox Series S or an Xbox Series X;
- A copy of the digital version of Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacyin Deluxe edition (invoiced 85 €).
What’s the connection with jet lag?
Warner Bros. has chosen a local launch for the digital versions ofHogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy, on console. The rule is simple: all countries will be served at 00h local time, not at a global time. Therefore, due to different time zones, some regions will be able to play it ahead of others. It is therefore enough to make believe that we are in a country served before to play before.
There is a twelve hour time difference with New Zealand. When it is midnight on Tuesday the 7th over there, it will be noon the day before in France. In short, you have to configure your Xbox Series S or your Xbox Series X so that it is in New Zealand.
How to pay for your Xbox in New Zealand?
To change the region settings of your Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X, just go to Settings > System > Language & Region. In the Language and region drop-down menu, choose New Zealand and then restart the console to take the change into account. The operation is risk-free and takes less than two minutes.
Only problem? ” This language region does not match the selected location. You may see a mix of languages on the screen “says Microsoft. But that shouldn’t be too much of a problem for launching a video game. Especially since you can change the settings again on Tuesday.
Proof that the trick works :
On the second capture, we can see that the game will be available this Monday, February 6, from noon.
