FH5 Release TIME

Hi all,

anyone know the release time for FH5 (not date, time). Win10 store says 12am 5th Nov.

However, I am in Australia and I'm not sure if it is time zone based.

Thanks

The game releases midnight in every country. If your country has several timezones, it's the most eastern timezone that counts.

So for the US for example, if you live on the western coast and use Pacific Time, the game actually releases at 9pm on November 8th. If you live on Hawaii, it's 6pm November 8th. Russia is unique with it's 11 time zones, meaning that the game actually releases at 1pm on November 8th for many. Meaning, Russians living in Moscow for example, can start to play the game at the same time as people in New Zealand.

Does it matter so much, you will know when the download starts.
By the way, only the Premium Edition will be released on November 5.
the others are supposed to start on November 9th.

Yes I know about the dates. Its just that I have to leave on the 6th of november so I wont be able to game. Wondering if it will release on the Australian 5th of Novemeber which is around 16 hours ahead of the US I believe.

I assume that the download also begins earlier only play you will only when it was unlocked
When that will be we just have to be patient and wait.
I will the next week the Premium Edition just pre-order and hope that the download begins sooner because there are over 100GB and for that I need some time.

Well I actually have already downloaded it on MS, as much as I dislike their store. Hopefully someone knows. Maybe a dev could comment

So it will unlock at 12am in your country no matter what time zone as long as it is the 5th?

One hour earlier release for central europe???

I know its rotating, but let me explain.

The release time list says for france, germany,.... that it comes out on MIDNIGHT (0 a.m.) CEST (Central European Summer Time) or better said on 10 p.m. UTC.

But in the night from the 30th to the 31th of Oct we changed from CEST to CET (Central European Time) that means that 0 a.m. on the 5th Nov is 11 p.m. on the 4th Nov in CET.
And 10 p.m. UTC is also 11 p.m. on the 4th Nov.

Is it possible that the dev / publisher forgot the time change and all the central european countries from CEST or better said CET get one hour earlier release??

Possible. For Countries with more than one time zone they pick the first one that get Midnight. So for USA, Russia,... its possible that you get it "ealier".
