Release Date & Time

Hello,

 

I understand early access for NHL 25 will be on Friday, September 27th. but at what time? 
Noon or Midnight my Local Time, or will it be at the same time worldwide? 

 

Thanks, 

  • Imagine paying 130$ for a game and you guys cant even launch it at midnight? Why would you launch it in the middle of the day... Probably because theres not enough people online for HUT at that time... the only money grabbing mode you guys care about.

      They have been clear about the release time/date for weeks now. Nothing to be upset about when the release time never changed. Far bigger things in life to worry about. Every game on the market has a release date/time.

      It's actually 7:00 in the evening Finland time. Sorry about that!

      You're very welcome! Good luck and have fun!

      I'm not sure if it is the same as with the early access with Deluxe Edition, but that was released 12PM EST and it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same today.

      I'm not sure if that is the case, but if the physical copies are in the store today, one would think that buyers of the digital version should not be worse off.
