The global unlock times have been officially announced.

With Cyberpunk 2077 being just about a week away from release, it is perhaps a great time to find out exactly when the game will unlock for you in your specific global region. Thankfully, CD Projekt Red revealed precisely when the game will be available for preload along with the unlock times.

Preloading on GOG will begin on December 7 at 12PM (CET), which is around 6AM (ET) for those in North America. Steam and the Epic Games Store (affiliate link) version will begin at 11AM (ET) on December 7.

The release is happening when the clock strikes midnight on December 10 in London. That means that some regions will actually get the game a bit earlier than expected, while other regions may have to wait a bit longer than expected. For instance, Cyberpunk 2077 will be released at 4PM (PT) or 7PM (ET) on December 9 for those of us in North America.

A full breakdown of the release schedule can be found either at the top of this posting or as part of this tweet from the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter.


That's the good news for PC players looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077. The bad news is that console players will have to wait until the clock strikes midnight in each region.
