October 22nd 2024.
It's that time of year again - the new Call of Duty game is finally here! Fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which is set to hit shelves this week. And if you're as excited as we are, we've got some good news for you - there's a way to play the game up to 12 hours early, and it works for both consoles and PC.
This year's game, set in 2024, is developed by Treyarch and Raven Software. Fans are hoping that it will be a major improvement from last year's disappointing Modern Warfare 3. The story mode takes place during the 1991 Gulf War, while the main multiplayer and Zombies mode promise to be the most thrilling yet.
Unfortunately, there haven't been many opportunities to preview the game, apart from a brief beta. And unlike the past few years, the story campaign won't be available to play early, even with the purchase of a more expensive edition. But don't worry - there is a way to get your hands on the full game before its official release date.
So when exactly does Black Ops 6 come out? The game will be available on Friday, October 25 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The standard version will cost £69.99, even on PC, while the Vault Edition will set you back £99.99. And as usual with Call of Duty, don't expect to find any major discounts during its launch or on Black Friday.
For the first time ever, the game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass for Console. However, it won't be available on the cheaper Game Pass Standard tier. It will also be available on various other gaming platforms, including Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now.
But perhaps the most exciting part is the New Zealand trick. This common trick, which has been around for years, allows you to play the game a full 12 hours before its official release in the UK. It's based on the fact that the game is released at the same time all around the world, so by taking into account the time difference, you can technically play it earlier in countries like New Zealand.
To pull off this trick, all you have to do is convince your device that you're in New Zealand. This can be done by changing your console or PC's location and language settings. Then, log into your Call of Duty account and update your address to New Zealand. Just remember to change your settings back after you've played the game early!
But unfortunately, this trick won't work for PlayStation consoles. In the past, fans have created new accounts with fake New Zealand addresses to purchase the game through the country's PlayStation Store. However, it's unclear if this will work this time around, and with the game being released in separate content packs, it may complicate things even further.
Of course, there's always the option of taking a trip to New Zealand to play the game early. But let's be real, that's not a feasible option for most of us. So for now, we'll just have to wait until Friday to join in on the action. But don't worry, it'll be worth the wait!
