Why is New Zealand often first?
New Zealand is one of the first countries to experience a new day due to its position near the International Date Line. This geographical quirk means that when a global release is set for a specific UTC time, New Zealanders often get access earliest in their local time. It is a fun perk for players there, making them feel a bit special.
