GTA 6 early launch New Zealand, Digi Mart USA News: Forget booking a flight to New Zealand, GTA 6 fans from overseas reckon changing their Xbox region could be enough to start playing hours early.
Being tucked away at the bottom of the world has its advantages. Thanks to New Zealand’s unique time zone, the country is often among the first to experience major gaming and technology releases.
Past examples include the midnight launch of Halo 3, when gamers queued outside brick-and-mortar stores, and an early taste of the notoriously unpopular Windows Vista.
Once again, New Zealand has a sizeable head start when Grand Theft Auto VI launches on 19 November. Kiwis will be playing a couple of hours before their Australian neighbours, and around 20 hours before some players on the other side of the world.
Rockstar Games’ GTA VI artwork features characters Jason and Lucia.
Players hoping to get an early start may want to consider the consequences. “Pulling a sickie” to play GTA 6 could result in disciplinary action, or even dismissal if an employer finds out.
