The release of Cyberpunk 2077 is now less than a week away, and as the launch date draws near, CD Projekt Red has announced the official global release times. The accompanying map shows gamers from around the world exactly when the game will be available in their region.
Cyberpunk 2077 Global Release Times
All over the world, the console versions of Cyberpunk 2077 will be releasing at midnight in each respective region’s local time. For those who haven’t done so already, the game is currently available to pre-load on Xbox. Pre-load for PlayStation will become available on the 8th of December. On PC, pre-loading will be available at 5 PM CET on the 7th of December for Steam and the Epic Games Store, and then at 12 PM CET for GOG.
The actual Cyberpunk 2077 release times on PC and Stadia aren’t as uniform as the console release times. Rather than being the same time, these times are different all over the world, as shown in the above map. This means that PC/Stadia players may get access to the game earlier or later than those on console, depending on where they are in the world.
Over the course of the last couple of weeks, CD Projekt Red has been teasing more features like Photo Mode and the game’s performance on old and next-gen consoles; all aimed at building hype for the long-awaited release. Despite the many delays, excitement for Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t seem to have waned over the course of 2020. The studio recently revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 pre-orders are significantly higher than those of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt; meaning that Cyberpunk 2077 is practically guaranteed to be their best-selling game of all time. (Which should come as no surprise.)
For now, players should make sure that they pre-load the game before the 10th if they’ve already pre-ordered. With so much interest and such high sales, a huge number of people are likely to be downloading the game on launch day, which could very well cause servers to run slow and downloads to take longer than usual.
