some games say it will unlock after specific time, but is there a way to know that using steamdb ?

so all games release at a specific date and on 10am PT ?

Not many game devs choose their own time. If no timer is present, just assume it is at the daily store refresh @10am Pacific Time.

i'd say go by whatever time the developer is in midnight usually works.

I'm not surprised Sony wanted to release an hour early for Horizon though.

That is less of the case for Steam releases.
