Okay, so I was hyped for NBA 2K24, just like everyone else. I’m in New Zealand, and I really wanted to know the exact release time so I could jump in the moment it dropped. So, I started my quest to find this information, here is how I found out.

First, I hit up Google. You know, the usual “NBA 2K24 release time New Zealand” search. I scrolled through a bunch of articles, but a lot of them were just general release dates, not the specific time.
Then I checked the official NBA 2K website. Sometimes they have a countdown or specific regional times listed, but no luck this time. It was all pretty vague.
Next, I thought about checking the PlayStation Store or the Xbox Store directly. I figured since it’s a digital purchase, the store page might show the exact unlock time. I opened up the PlayStation Store on my console.
I searched for “NBA 2K24” and found the game page. And there it was! It clearly stated what time it will be available. It turns out that the release time is in my local time.
So, after all that digging, I finally got my answer. It was a bit of a runaround, but now I know exactly when I can start playing!
