What time will a steam game unlock for me?
So basically i'm thinking of pre-ordering fallout 4, and i was just wondering at what time would it come out for me if i did get it. Recently gamestop told me if i pre-ordered with them that they can release the game at 9:00 PM (West Coast PST) instead of 12 anymore. Does that same thing go for Steam as well?
Best Answer
Games on Steam generally unlock at 10am US Pacific time on the day of release.
So, depending on the time of year, either 10am PST (-0800) or 10am PDT (-0700).
