If you’d like to play Resident Evil Requiem a little earlier, you can try the New Zealand trick on Xbox, where you set your console time to New Zealand’s time zone (NZDT), or purchase the game from the New Zealand store on the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation. However, you will need to make an account that resides in New Zealand, and will need to swap accounts if you want to play your other games, so it’s often not worth the hassle.
