Overview
- Console versions go live at local midnight on Friday in each territory, so players can jump in as the date turns in their region.
- PC releases on Steam and Battle.net follow fixed regional times, including 9 pm PST on Nov. 13, 12 am EST, 5 am GMT, 6 am CET, and 4 pm AEDT on Nov. 14.
- The New Zealand trick is enabling early play on PlayStation, Xbox, and some Microsoft Store/Xbox app installs, but it does not work on Steam or Battle.net.
- Using the workaround remains unofficial and at your own risk, with recent Call of Duty launches seeing no bans reported for players who waited for the NZ launch window.
- Preloads are available on all platforms with downloads exceeding 100GB, and the game arrives day one for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
