What Is The New Zealand Release Time For NBA 2K23?
As per the information provided by PSN Store, the New Zealand release date for NBA 2k23 is 00:00 NZST, it means that the early access trick on Xbox will work.
According to the time New Zealand release time, it will be 05:00 PT, 08:00 ET, and 13:00 BST on September 8th for the players of the United States and the United Kingdom. Thus, several players have decided to exploit the trick. They have been talking about the trick both on Reddit and Twitter. There are several video guides on YouTube that you can follow to better understand how to access NBA 2K23 early.
The players are also discussing another news that claims Microsoft store indicates a universal release of 21:00 PT on September 8th, and 00:00 ET and 05:00 BST on September 9th. However, we have not found any proof that backs this claim. However, if this is true news then the New Zealand early access hack will not work.
If the NZ hack works, as usual, make sure not to buy any VC, and take note that your VC pre-order bonuses will not work until the official release time in your proper region.
