CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has unveiled a comprehensive list of global release times for its latest expansion, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. The release schedule indicates that the game will be available on September 26 in various regions, with slight variations depending on the platform and time zone.

Release Schedule Complexity

The release schedule demonstrates significant complexities. While console versions release at midnight local time, PC release times show greater variation. Particularly noteworthy is that players in the Americas playing on PC can access the game on September 25.

Time Differences by Region

The timing disparities between console and PC releases are not consistent globally. For example, there is a 5-8 hour difference in the US, zero differences in the UK, and a staggering 12-hour gap in New Zealand. This creates a scenario where the console version is available before the PC version in some areas.
