Converted from the 17:00 UTC figure on the PlayStation listing; daylight-saving shifts are not applied, and each store unlocks on its own schedule. The announced release date is 22 September, and zones eight hours or more ahead of UTC (Taipei, Tokyo, Sydney) land in the small hours of 23 September — which is the date Steam's client shows as "coming soon". Checked 2026-09-22.
