What time will Stellaris be released?

[Chilled Legumes]

Hello!

I apologize if this was already discussed, but i didn't see it in the FAQ on the pre-order announcement.

I am trying to schedule some of my vacation hours at work so i can take the launch day off and play some Stellaris, however, I'm not sure if may 9th means it releases at midnight on may 8th, or if it will release sometime during the day during may 9th

I live in Oregon, GMT-7. Can anyone tell me when the game will release, local to me?

Thanks

I don't believe we know the exact time yet actually. Looks like that's information that will only be available much closer to release.

Usually at 3 PM GMT+1, so that would be 7 am for you.

I suppose basing it off of older titles could work, sure

Just don't take it as fact!

Since valve is based on the east coast USA. They release at around 9 am local time

 

[.NoWay.]

There was another thread about this or it was mentioned in the preorder one:
Probably afternoon, evening for EU and as such early morning for US.
This was given as an estimate at the moment.

EDIT: with EU I meant to say Europe. Got exams involving the EU tomorrow, you see ^^

No, Valve is based on the west coast, in Washington.

Also, game releases don't actually have to line up with Valve time. XCOM 2 sure as hell didn't.

roughly 17:00 CET according to PI IIRC.

Afternoon/evening CEST(GMT +2). So in GMT-7 that'd be 4-11am at the absolute earliest and latest. 6-9am is probably more likely. Expect to start downloading over breakfast.

Ok, i assumed it was eastcoast because of the usual release times.
