Bandai Namco has revealed the global launch times for Elden Ring and detailed when players can jump into the game depending on their region. For the most part, these launch times are simple with consol players all able to launch their games from midnight on 25 February. However, PC players need to take note of their specific launch times as these vary across each region.

As for the Elden Ring pre-load, Bandai Namco says PlayStation and PC players can start downloading their game 48 hours before launch and Xbox players can pre-load the game already. This means you can pre-load the game starting from Wednesday at 12 am.

Thankfully, if you are reading this then your digital game isn’t going to be delayed like the South African retail stock of Elden Ring. Yesterday, we announced that all physical editions of the game won’t make it to South African stores in time for the launch this week due to flight delays caused by Storm Eunice.
