Time when on 26 it is playable?

[WhizKey]

Is there a specific time (German time) when the game will be playable on 26 (Wednesday)? Will it be playable at 0:00 or very late in the evening?

[TR1PLE 6]

Here in the UK, Steam games usually release at 6PM, so I would think 7PM in Germany.
Insomniac will probably post the official time of release on Twitter or something.

Steam uses Global and Midnight releases. With Global, the game launches at the same time no matter what region you are in. They always release at 1pm EST on the day listed as this is when the steam store updates. With Midnight releases, they release at midnight in whatever region you are in.

It's safe to assume R&C will release globally at the stated time.

So the game will be playable at 0:00 German time.

I am 100% positive one or more of the Tales games released based on some European time zone. Unless something changed or my memory is wrong. I'm not saying to expect other than those two things for this of course.

And I could swear I've seen indie games release at the most random times, but I don't know if that's just mandela effect or it actually happened and I was never too interested to find out... But yeah as far as I remember, every "major" release happened as described.

I dont know where they got their info but it is wrong. AFAIK steam does not support midnight release (for each timezone separately) - If you have any evidence of the contrary, please link it.

Regarding the release time, it is completely up to a developer. Once the title is approved for release by steam, they have to push a button to release the game. At least that is what the Steamworks documentation says about it.

That explains everything. I wouldn't have expected that, but it aligns with all of the observations.
