Cyberpunk 2077 Release Times Confirmed by CD Projekt Red
Believe it or not, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 is almost here. Highly anticipated and repeatedly delayed, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally launching in just a few days.
CD Projekt Red's long-awaited RPG releases on what is turning out to be a big day for gamers, December 10. The elaborate multi-platform title lets players explore the six distinct regions that comprise the dystopian Night City.
The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter is providing a detailed guide on the exact release times of the game around the world. The map specifically shows the launch times of each timezone, so players will want to check for their corresponding regions. The tweet states that for PC and Stadia, the game launches at midnight GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). For Xbox Series X, PS5, and other console players, Cyberpunk 2077 launches at midnight local time. It appears that - at least from their perspective - those in Los Angeles and other residents within the PST timezone will be the earliest players to dive into Night City, starting at 4 pm on December 9 on PC and Stadia.
The map also includes additional info at the bottom regarding pre-load times, something plenty of gamers will certainly want to know. This is because according to CD Projekt Red, pre-orders for Cyberpunk 2077 are higher than any entry in its The Witcher series. Again, release timings are divided between consoles and PC/Stadia.
Pre-loads for PC and Stadia will first become available on Monday, December 7 at 12 pm CET on GOG. Steam and the Epic Games Store will let players start loading a few hours later, at 5 pm CET. For Xbox and PlayStation players, the availability depends on the console. Xbox users are the first players able to begin pre-loading, starting December 3 at 5 pm CET. PS4 and PS5 players are the last to pre-load, only becoming available two days prior to the game's release.
Getting granular launch times of one of the most highly-anticipated games ever is extremely exciting for the gaming community. A slew of cross-brand promotions and Cyberpunk 2077-branded merchandise over the past few months have made CD Projekt Red's new game nearly impossible to ignore. To even further build hype around the release, Cyberpunk 2077 is teasing a Cybernight event. However, details about what the event actually entails remains a mystery, so players will need to keep an eye out.
While there are the official release dates provided above, the reality is physical copies of Cyberpunk 2077 are already out there. This sets up the potential for regular players to try and play the game early. Those gamers may want to avoid streaming it, however, especially after the recent CD Projekt Red's threats to streamers.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on December 10 for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions releasing in 2021.
