Yes, you can play Super Bomberman R 2 early on both PlayStation 4 and 5, but it requires a lot of effort. It’s not as easy as other consoles, as you need to create an entirely new PlayStation account and set it to New Zealand. However, this also involves finding a legitimate address in New Zealand to set your account address.

You also need to purchase New Zealand dollar gift cards to redeem on this account in the PSN store so that you can purchase the game. Sony will not allow you to use a card that is not from New Zealand. Once done, you need to set this account as the main account on your PS4/5 to game share so you can play it on your normal account.

Apart from using this method, there is no way to play the Eternights early on PlayStation 4 and 5.
