In the United Kingdom, Cyberpunk 2077 will unlock across all platforms at midnight on December 10, meaning those who are willing to stay up late can jump right in seconds after the game launches. American audiences can enjoy things somewhat earlier at 7pm ET and 4pm PST, giving them an entire evening to sink into Night City.
Console players are on a slightly different schedule to PC and Stadia, with PS4 and Xbox One unlocking at “midnight local time” regardless of your territory. This is likely due to the restrictions put in place by Sony and Microsoft, who prefer to uniform approach to when new titles such as this become available on its hardware. And don’t worry, you can play on next-gen consoles via backward compatibility.
Cyberpunk 2077 can be preloaded on GOG, Steam and the Epic Games Store, although exact timings differ depending on your timezone. Steam and Epic will begin on December 7 at 8am PT and 4pm GMT. As for GOG, this will make things available from 3am PT and 11am GMT from December 7. The download is rather large, so make sure you’ve got plenty of time and space.
