The next-gen console edition of Grand Theft Auto 5 releases today in New Zealand. In general, Rockstar follows a pattern of simultaneously releasing their games across the globe. This results in each country/region getting its own individual timing for a game, which is usually based on PST (Pacific Standard Time).
However, this time, the difference in release times might prompt many users to change their console's regional timing. Setting the time to New Zealand's could possibly get them early access to the game. This might help them avoid the rush that usually follows after a game's release.
