The highly anticipated release of Black Ops 6 is just around the corner and New Zealand fans will be the first to get their hands on the game. If you want to jump in as early as possible, you can take a flight to New Zealand (literally or metaphorically.) Essentially, the Black Ops 6 method involves changing your location to New Zealand from wherever you are in the world.
Black Ops 6 is scheduled to launch on consoles on October 25 at 12am in New Zealand, which is 7am ET on October 24. PC players get to dive in on October 25 at 6pm in New Zealand, translating to 1am ET.
