We may be PC <\/em>Gamer, but a Hideo Kojima launch is an industry-wide event, and as we speak, there are PS5-having PCG writers down in the Strand trenches attempting to make sense of the silly puppet man and how a game can be both horny and<\/em> sexless.<\/p>\n

You know the drill: Weird global simu-launch, it’s all kind of confusing, and down below I’ve listed launch times by region for the standard and digital deluxe, “early access” (already a thing!) versions of the game.<\/p>\n

When is the standard Death Stranding 2 launch time?<\/h2>\n

Sony has not provided one of those nice maps of the world with all the launch times, and also has the most confusing roll-out for this sort of thing I’ve ever seen, a “rolling midnight launch” where the easternmost time zone of a given “region” gets the game at midnight, with time zones to their west then effectively getting the game earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the only concrete region-definers I’ve been able to pin down have been New Zealand for Oceania and the East Coast for the US, with corresponding times listed below. I don’t know where Sony draws the line on Europe or Asia, and quite frankly I don’t think it should have that power.<\/p>\n

As a note, most outlets agree with the “rolling midnight” schema, but Game8 <\/a>seems to argue that this only applies to the United States, and for the rest of the world, it’s just midnight of whatever time zone you’re in.<\/p>\n
