Leading up to the official release of Elden Ring, Bandai Namco has outlined the global release times for various timezones across the world. Additionally, the company has announced that preloading will be available for PC, PS4 and PS5 consoles 48 hours before release, and immediately for Xbox consoles. Release timings will also vary depending on what platform you are on, even if you’re in the same timezone.
