To do so, players simply need to log in and access their settings, from here they can find the “Language & Location” option via “System” and select New Zealand as their region. Once the console has restarted, the game can be accessed and Cyberpunk 2077 will be playable.
Many players on Reddit and Twitter have already attempted the workaround and have reported that the exploit works, allowing them access to the game. The Xbox’s location can be changed back at any time, so once the title is released in a player’s territory, they will be able to easily switch back.
Streams of Cyberpunk 2077 have already begun appearing, including popular streamer Shroud, who previously said he “hopes” the hype for the game dies “in a month”.
The title also includes a streamer mode, which allows the game to be broadcast, filtering out any licensed music that may infringe their account due to copyright. CD Projekt RED also previously warned people against streaming the game too early as they could face their content being removed before launch.
