You can already play EA Sports FC 24, the FIFA successor, on Xbox if you have the “Early Access” through the Ultimate Edition and use a well-known trick.
How can you play it now? To be able to play EA Sports FC 24 now, you need an “Early Access” access, which you get by purchasing the Ultimate Edition. Additionally, you need to set your Xbox to the New Zealand time zone.
We currently cannot say if the New Zealand trick also works for the 10-hour trial in combination with an “EA Play” subscription. If it does, we will update the article.
EA Sports FC 24 – Here’s how the New Zealand trick works on Xbox
How do you change your time zone on Xbox? To change your time zone on Xbox consoles, you need to change your location in the settings. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to your Xbox settings
- Select the language and location settings
- Change your location to “New Zealand”
Once the game is available in your time zone, you can switch back to “Germany”.
Does the trick also work on PC and PS5? No, according to current information, the New Zealand trick does not work on PC and is also not suitable for PlayStation.
- On PC, the global launch of EA Sports FC 24 happens simultaneously in all countries.
- On PlayStation, you need to create a new account with the corresponding time zone, which makes the trick less useful.
If you don’t want to use the New Zealand trick or aren’t playing on Xbox, the Early Access for buyers of the Ultimate Edition starts on September 22, 2023.
If you only buy the Standard Edition of EA Sports FC 24, you will start on September 29, 2023. However, you can already use the Web App:
