The widely awaited Cyberpunk 2077 is just days away from its 10th release in December. But depending on where you live and on which platform you're playing, given the previous instructions, you might get to play the game a little earlier than you might have planned.

Developer CD Projekt Red shared precisely when a tweet posted Thursday will be available for Cyberpunk 2077. If you're playing on your PC or Stadia, on December 10th, at 12AM GMT, you'll be able to launch the game no matter where you are in the country. That means, for instance, that if you live on the US East Coast, on December 9th, you can hop into the game at 7PM ET. Check the map below if you would like to know precisely when 12AM GMT is in your timezone. According to CD Projekt Red, console players can get access to the game at midnight local time.

 

Also comprehensive is CD Projekt Red when you can start preloading Cyberpunk 2077 ahead of the launch next week. You will preload the game on a PC starting on Monday, December 7th. Preloads arrive on GOG at 12PM CET and on Steam and the Awesome Games Store at 5PM CET. The game can also be preloaded on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. Preloads begin "two days before the release date," on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. 

It's been a long wait for individuals expecting Cyberpunk 2077, since the game has been postponed numerous times. The details of release scheduling appear to suggest that the entire game will actually be in the hands of players very soon, at long last. Technically, in October, the game discs went gold and a couple of them are already still in the hands of gamers, but obviously there's going to be a heavy one-day patch as well.
