How to Play NBA 2K24 Early on Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One
- Go to ‘Settings’
- Scroll to ‘System’
- Click on ‘Language & location’
- Set the ‘Location’ to “New Zealand”
- Restart your Xbox
- Once the game comes out in your location, switch location back to your original settings
In past versions of game releases, there’s been no reports of bans that we are aware of from this, but use this at your own risk.
How to Play NBA 2K24 Early on PlayStation
