Sony has confirmed the global launch times for Ghost of Yotei – here’s what we know and when you can play it.
Sony has confirmed the Ghost of Yotei launch times across the globe, as fans itch to get their hands on the next major PlayStation 5 exclusive and spiritual follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. The game officially launches October 2, but depending on where you live, you could be playing a few hours earlier.
The Ghost of Yotei launch times vary depending on where you’re located across the world. That means players in the United States can technically begin Atsu’s story of vengeance on the evening of October 1. On the West Coast, the game goes live at 9 PM PT, while East Coast players will see it unlock at 12 AM ET on October 2. For players worldwide, the approach keeps things simple: as soon as the clock hits midnight where you are, the gates open.

Here’s exactly when you can get stuck into Ghost of Yotei across the world:

- 12am for all other international local times (including AEST)
