New Zealand uses two standard time zones: New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) for the main islands and Chatham Standard Time (CHAST) for the Chatham Islands. Its dependencies and associated states also use different time zones.

See the table below for the time zones used in New Zealand and its associated states.

Time Zone Standard Time Daylight Time
New Zealand UTC+12:00 UTC+13:00
Chatham Islands UTC+12:45 UTC+13:45
Tokelau UTC+13:00

With this in mind, setting your Xbox to New Zealand allows you to play the game early as the country has one of the earliest time zones that you can choose in the Location settings.
