Please. Someone let me know what time the ultimate addition releases in Australia?
I’ve seen a few different times but it does say in the description in store 12:00am tonight.?!? I’m banking on that
midnight EST from what ive read
This Microsoft site tells you the time in terms of your own time zone. I’m in eastern Australia and it tells me it’s 2.00 PM Friday, which is midnight Friday morning US Eastern time although there are conflicting reports about whether the true release time is in terms of midnight Eastern or Pacific.
The truth is no one knows for sure at the moment - we’ll just have to wait and see - it won’t be long!
The Xbox Store Australia say 09/22/2016 at 10:00am.
My friend in Australia has this game and tried lunching it just now at 09/22/0216 at 11:30AM local time and it did not work.
Think someone did a typo …it says 9/23/2016 not 22
I got my Ultimate Edition pre-load waiting on my HD now - all 49 gigs ! The store page listing tells me I can play 23/09/2016 12:00:00 AM - so I am hoping that means Midnight tonite and not Midday tomorrow.
Well, that’s an hour ago isn’t it?
Yeah that isn’t right. Mine says 22/9 11:30 pm (Im in adelaide 30 mins behind) so it must be Midnight “local to the country” time i guess?
The game releases at 12 midnight. As for me it releases at 11.30pm as I am in Adelaide. Just check the store for the time.
As for people saying they checked the Microsoft site, make sure you are looking at the Australian one and not the US store as it will tell you the time it will release in that country.
Eg. US store will say 2pm 23/9
Australian store will say 11.30pm 22/9

So, it’s not a simultaneous world wide release? It’s a staggered release?
Staggered release for all the various time zones. So for Australia it is 12am AEST. Adelaide is 30 mins behind so we get it at 11.30pm tonight.

Well that US linked site says 23/9 4pm NZ time, which is already earlier than I was expecting it. But the NZ version of that page is very confused and says midnight, but also gives the price with VAT, which we don’t have lol.
If this time is the correct, which I think it might be as I doubt it will release 23/9 12am as that means it will release before 23rd in other countries and because this is a digital release everyone should be able to play it at the same time. I do however remember that FM6 released at around 4 am in the scheduled date.
Forza Motorsport 6 dropped at 10PM I remember, but Turn 10 is based on the West Coast of the US which is 17-18 hours behind Australia depending on daylight savings.
Playground Games is in the UK though so midnight could mean UK time.
I’m banking on it coming out tonight, I took work off for this! HAHA
