The New Zealand trick is an approach many gamers have become accustomed to, as it allows you to get into a title hours before you would initially be able to. The trick only applies to staggered midnight releases, but EA FC 25 falls into that category, meaning the trick is available. We've split the details below into each platform. The method also works with the 10-hour trial for\u00a0EA FC 25, so there's no reason to wait. How to play EA FC 25 early on Xbox using New Zealand trick Xbox gamers have the simplest method of switching timezones to access releases like EA FC 25 early. Using the steps below, you should be able to jump into the game on Sept. 19 at 5am PT\/7am CT\/8am ET\/1pm BST. Open the Settings menu. Select System. Select Language and Location. Set your location to New Zealand. Restart your console. If you're struggling to find the trial in the store, follow these steps. I also had an issue locating the trial before I used this approach. Open the Xbox Store. Search for EA FC 25. Select the Standard Edition of EA FC 25. Scroll down until you see the section showing items included in the bundle. Select EA FC 25 Xbox Series X|S. Hit the Free trial button on the page that appears. How to play EA FC 25 early on PlayStation using New Zealand trick PlayStation players can use the New Zealand trick to access EA FC 25 early, but the process is more complicated and potentially more expensive than on Xbox. Follow these steps to jump in early. Create a new PlayStation account with a different email address. Select New Zealand as your country. Purchase EA FC 25 on the new account. You need to turn on console sharing to access EA FC 25 on your main account, which you can only do once the full release time has passed in your time zone. By signing into your EA account, however, you may be able to continue any progress on modes like Ultimate Team. How to play EA FC 25 early on PC using New Zealand trick PC players cannot use the New Zealand trick for EA FC 25 as there isn't currently a way to switch the time of your account. Instead, you need to wait patiently for the release in your time zone\u2014which is frustrating, particularly if your friends on a console are getting in early.
