How to Play Star Wars Outlaws Early Using the New Zealand Trick

Star Wars Fans can look forward to a treat when Star Wars Bandits releases, with the open-world title offering a new adventure in a galaxy far, far away. For those who can’t wait, you can get in early with the New Zealand trick.

Many console gamers are happy with the New Zealand trick, as it allows you to try out games before their release date and time in your region. Star Wars Bandits is releasing on consoles in phases at midnight, meaning the game is available to anyone who’s eager to play it.

If you’ve never used the trick before and need an explanation or a reminder of the process, we’ve got you covered.

How to Play Star Wars Outlaws Early on Xbox Using the New Zealand Trick

How to Play Star Wars Outlaws Early on PlayStation Using the New Zealand Trick

PlayStation players can still use the New Zealand trick to access games like Star Wars Bandits early, but the process is more complicated than on Xbox. Follow these steps to jump in early:

1. Create a new PlayStation account with a different email address.
2. Select New Zealand as your country.
3. Purchase Star Wars Bandits on the new account

Console sharing must be enabled to access Star Wars Bandits on your main account, which can only be done after the full release in your timezone. By logging in to Ubisoft, you may be able to continue any progress you have made on your new account.

Does the New Zealand trick work on PC?

PC players can’t use the New Zealand trick for Star Wars Bandits because the release schedule is different from that of consoles, as the game is released at different times around the world.

You can pre-load the game on PC so you can jump right in when it comes out. You can also get early access by purchasing the Ultimate or Gold Edition. There is no way to play the game before its release date, however.
