Midnight release?

[Gabenfoodle]

Yay or nay?

[hektikfrog]

yay

http://mafro.ca/v/ - countdown for your country

[jiff67]

it will be midnight somewhere

[SimpleCelld]

Yep. It will be midnight in whatever region you're in. All games that have a confirmed release date have some form of counter with the hour it will unlock, however GTA V doesn't. This has nothing to do with the fact that it was delayed so often, but because it will launch at midnight for whichever region you're in.

Nope, no timer. It just displays the release date on the page.

I do remember some years back some games had a timer. I might be wrong but they were SR4 and Tomb Raider 2013.

Most games do have timers nowadays. Mortal Kombat X which is releasing on the same day also has a timer, along with almost every single game that is releasing between now and April 14. GTA is probably an exception because of the large international audience it will be reaching, along with midnight physical releases in most regions.

Midnight EST on April 14th.

no... they do international releases @ midnight EDT, aka, 9:00 pm PDT, etc, etc.

As I said, this is only the case if they have a countdown. If there is no countdown, which has happened in the past, the game will release at midnight in each region. To boot. EB Games Australia is saying midnight on the 14th, whilst midnight EDT for us is 2pm. If the game was releasing at 2pm digitally, it would release the next day, the 15th of April physically, such as Mortal Kombat X.

Steam will update the Store page with an official countdown.

Not all games have a countdown. Usually, when there's no countdown, it points to a midnight release globally.
