Get Ready! Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Release Times Are Here!

Good news, fans! We finally know exactly when Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be released around the world. The game, made by Hideo Kojima, is coming out on Thursday, June 26th. But if you bought the special Digital Deluxe or Collector's Edition, you get to play it even earlier, on Tuesday, June 24th!

Most players will be able to start playing at midnight in their own time zone on June 26th. This means no matter where you live, the game will unlock when your clock hits 12 AM on that day. It's super simple!

For those who got the fancier versions of the game, you get to start 48 hours early. So, you'll be able to play at midnight in your time zone on June 24th. For some people in the west, that might even mean playing on the evening of June 23rd!
Quick Look at Release Times (for early access on June 24th, and regular on June 26th):
Pacific Time (PT): 9:00 PM on June 23rd (early) / 9:00 PM on June 25th (regular)
Eastern Time (ET): 12:00 AM on June 24th (early) / 12:00 AM on June 26th (regular)
UK Time (BST): 12:00 AM on June 24th (early) / 12:00 AM on June 26th (regular)
Central Europe Time (CEST): 1:00 AM on June 24th (early) / 1:00 AM on June 26th (regular)

New Zealand Time (NZST): 12:00 AM on June 24th (early) / 12:00 AM on June 26th (regular)

You can already download the game, so it's ready to go the moment it unlocks! This is a good idea because the game is quite big – about 91.6 GB on PlayStation 5. Make sure you have enough space on your console so you don't have to wait when the time comes.
