How to play Armored Core 6 early on consoles

Since Armored Core 6 early access isn't a thing, using the New Zealand trick stands as the sole method for experiencing AC6 ahead of schedule on your Xbox or PlayStation consoles, especially if you reside outside of NZ.

To play Armored Core 6 early on your consoles, switch your location to New Zealand and pre-order a digital edition of the game. On Xbox, it's simple: go to Profile & system > Settings > System > Language & location, then select New Zealand from the drop-down list under Location.

On the PlayStation consoles, the procedure is a bit more complex. To get a comprehensive walkthrough and detailed instructions on changing your location on the PS5 and PS4, we suggest referring to our dedicated guide.

Once your location is switched to New Zealand, you can pre-order the game. The download size for AC6 on PC is 65GB, while it's 50GB for current-gen consoles, and 35GB for last-gen consoles. So, ensure your device has sufficient storage space available.
