Forza Horizon 6 Tricks: New Zealand Stunt Walkthrough on Xbox
The New Zealand trick is back for Forza Horizon 6, and Xbox players are using it to jump into the Japan festival hours before the official launch in their own region. If you have done this trick in older Xbox launches, the setup feels very familiar. The good news is that it still only takes a couple of minutes. This is not a cheat, mod, or exploit inside the game itself. You are simply changing your Xbox console region to New Zealand so the system unlocks the game earlier based on New Zealand’s local midnight release window. Once you get in early, you can start unlocking cars, farming XP, and clearing early PR stunts before most players in your region even boot up the game. What the New Zealand Trick Actually Does The trick works because Xbox releases many digital games based on regional midnight launch times. Since New Zealand reaches midnight earlier than North America and Europe, changing your console location to New Zealand can unlock the game much sooner. For Forza Horizon 6, this means early access to the Japan map, the festival introduction, and the opening progression systems before your local release time arrives. Important things to know:
This only works on Xbox consoles and the Xbox PC app
It does not work on Steam
No VPN is required
Your save progress remains safe when switching back later
You still need to own the correct edition of the game for early access
