In the past, the New Zealand trick has been more difficult on PlayStation, as multiplayer is released as individual packs rather than baking it into the CoD HQ app. However, with MW3 and now Black Ops 6, the method is possible once again.
PS4
PS4 is a little more complicated, as Black Ops 6 is being released to the Call of Duty HQ app as content packs. So, it’s currently unclear if the NZ trick will work this year.
There’s also the issue that PSN locks your account to a specific region when you create it, with no way to change it later. In the past, players have gotten around this by creating a new account, choosing a New Zealand address, and purchasing a game through that country’s PlayStation Store.
Steam and Battle.net
Unfortunately, if you’re playing on Steam or Battle.net, then this method won’t work.
