Here's what time you can start playing Elden Ring in your time zone this week
Elden Ring week is finally here! Are there any other video game things happening also? Who knows! Elden Ring! And if you're as giddy about the whole thing as I am, you might like to know exactly when you'll be able to start playing based on your time zone and platform of choice — which is information Bandai Namco has now made available in the form of an infographic.
Elden Ring does officially release this Friday, 25th February in Europe, but, depending on your location and platform, you might just get to play it a little earlier. Here in the UK, for instance, PC players will be able to start their Elden Ring journey at 11pm on Thursday, 24th February — those that pre-order can pre-loaded the game 48hrs ahead of release for an on-the-dot start (not that I'd ever usually condone pre-ordering but, you know, Elden Ring).

Obviously, if you're going the physical route, you'll be entirely dependant on the whims of your preferred retailer/delivery service.
Elsewhere in the world, Elden Ring will be available at midnight, 25th February, on both PC and consoles if you happen to live in Central Europe, while US PC players that reside within the Pacific Time Zone can embark on their adventure from 3pm on Thursday.
