If you’re eager, like me, to jump intoMonster Hunter Wildson February 28 but don’t want to wait until then, there’s a cool way to save almost half a day if you’re on Xbox.

Once again, Capcom has decided to go for a regional launch on consoles. In simpler words,Monster Hunter Wildswill be released on your console when the midnight clock strikes 12 in your region. Naturally, some countries will have the game available earlier as the Sun appears there sooner.

This creates a fun opportunity for Xbox users to jump in early with the help of a simple trick.

How to play Monster Hunter Wilds early

The following process is a tried-and-tested method specifically available for Xbox consoles. It’s not available for all video games, as the system relies on regional launch schedules to work.

This method is pretty easy to try out, and it’s safe. It’s not any form of exploit, as Xbox allows you to switch the location of your console easily. If you’re on PlayStation (like me), there’s no such benefit. The only thing I can do is to wait patiently for midnight to arrive in my region.

If you’re on PC, you’ll have to wait for a different system, as Steam will follow a simultaneous launch schedule across all regions.
