Elden Ring Global Release Timings

PC launches are generally one time globally. A few big games buck the trend but it's not the norm. Maybe it's just a pain to set up rolling release times on Steam? Maybe they want to try to consolidate Steam concurrent numbers as much as possible? No idea why, just how it usually works.
NEW ZEAAALLAAAND!
Provided Digital Foundry doesn't report anything catastrophic about the Series X version, being able to play a full day early first thing Thursday morning makes it an easy choice, especially if the micro stutter issue on PC is legit. Plus, I have enough MS Reward points to cover it in full.
Suddenly only 2 more days!

SAME! Had to do a double take cause I couldn't believe it's releasing before the consoles do in est.
ahh man, the PC early release is tempting, but i'm really worried about my old rig performance-wise. i have 6700 and a 980TI
Oh nice, that coincides with my one day trip to New Zealand. I'll see all my fellow Xbox mates there.
On XBox, nope. Simple and will unlock instantly. Takes like 30 seconds to do on Series X.
Perfect, thanks. Already have it preordered on my Series X and will 100 percent be doing this.
yeah same boat.. I have around $8 credit left on steam but can save that and buy on GMG and save that credit but risk getting key late.
Not saying it's going to happen again, but the GMG MH rise debacle was actually such insane bullshit that I avoided it entirely this time
It's not just that, the stuttering issues concern me as well. Rather not get stuck with a version I don't want.
Well about that DF report...NEW ZEAAALLAAAND!

Digital Foundry have agreed to not publish Elden Ring performance analysis before the day one patch
Correct. Only on Xbox will the NZ trick work.
For Xbox yes, PC No.
No two hours earlier, it's 11 pm vs 12 am or 23:00 vs 00:00 ( + 1 hour of time difference)
You guys are just really bad at reading a 12 hour clock, lol. 12am = midnight, 12pm = noon.
PC release is simultaneous world wide.
Haha, true. It is quite confusing if you grew up with 24 hours! Thanks for the clarification!
Speaking of which, does anyone know if Greenmangaming sends out codes prior to release often? I haven't bought from there before and I'm curious
Great, they ignored Indian Standard Time.
At least it's a global release, so it seems it'll unlock at 4:30 am for me. Takes me back to when I woke up that early to play Dark Souls II. This is going to be good.

You're right - oh man that was definitely my most out of brain moment of the day!
Yeah man. That 3pm PST is gonna be glorious. I'm hella pumped
Hoping the same here as well.
Would like to know this as well. Hope GMG sends codes out on time and we don't have to wait until midnight or the next business day Monday or something, that would suck.
