Thankfully through a tweet by the official Elden Ring account, we have all the official release times depending on your region. You can see the image above, which displays each of the release times based on both console and PC times. In PT, Elden Ring will release at 9 PM on February 24 for consoles and 3 PM on the same day for PC and is kept consistent at least for PC as far as time conversions go. The console version, on the other hand, is slightly more complicated. While it has release times in PT and CT, it will release at midnight local time everywhere else including ET. It’s a bit confusing, though again, the picture helps aid any confusion there.

Now that we know what time Elden Ring will release though, you may be wondering when you can pre-load. Well, the image helps again there but in case you can’t see it on your device, pre-loading begins 48 hours before your release time (so whatever timezone and time minus two days) on both PC and PlayStation platforms. Meanwhile, on Xbox, pre-loading is already available! Feel free to begin pre-loading the game whenever you feel like it!
