- Hogwarts Legacy for Xbox One and PS4 is actually released on May 5th at midnight.
- If you change the region of your console to New Zealand, you should be able to play in advance.
- However, this does not apply to pre-orders of the Deluxe Edition.
Hogwarts Legacy isn’t really available to play on Xbox One and PS4 until May 5th at 12am, but there is a way Xbox One players can play early, although there’s no Early Access.
As the developers of Hogwarts Legacy explain on Twitter, the “Harry Potter” game will be region-based at midnight. Since New Zealand is 10 hours ahead of us, players can start there as early as 2 p.m. German time.
In order to be able to play Hogwarts Legacy at 2 p.m., you don’t have to move to New Zealand, as EarlyGame reports. It may be enough to change the region of your Xbox One. To do this, go to the settings and select New Zealand under “Language and location”.
