How to Play 2K25 Early & NBA 2K25 New Zealand Release Time
Playing NBA 2K25 early is simple. Just pre-order the game before its official release date. Once you’ve pre-ordered, you’ll be able to download and start playing the game during the early access period. This gives you a head start to explore new features, modes, and gameplay enhancements.
In previous years, players could use the New Zealand release time trick to play games earlier due to time zone differences. However, for NBA 2K25, the early access release is a simultaneous global launch. This means that the game will be available at the same time worldwide, so the New Zealand trick won’t work this time around.
