Call of Duty: Vanguard will release on November 5, and many players are sure to be extremely excited to jump into this brand new first-person shooter. In fact, some fans will want to be certain that they start playing at the exact moment that it is possible to do so, and those players may have questions about precisely when that moment will come. It is with those questions in mind that this guide is being written, and details on Call of Duty: Vanguard’s release time can be found in what follows.
Call of Duty: Vanguard Release Time (PC)
For those players that will be enjoying Call of Duty: Vanguard on PC, the title has a global launch. This means that first-person shooter fans worldwide will be able to get into the game at the exact same time, and here are specifics on how that breaks down by time zone:
- PDT: November 4 @ 9pm
- EDT: November 5 @ Midnight
- BRT: November 5 @ 1am
- GMT: November 5 @ 4am
- CET: November 5 @ 5am
- MSK: November 5 @ 7am
- HKT: November 5 @ 12pm
- KST/JST: November 5 @ 1pm
- AEDT: November 5 @ 4pm
Call of Duty: Vanguard Release Time (Console)
Unlike the PC version of Call of Duty: Vanguard, the console release will not be available in every region at the exact same time. The game will launch simultaneously across North America, though, with it going live at 9pm PDT / 10pm MDT / 11pm CDT / 11:59pm EDT on November 4. For players that are outside of North America, the game will become playable at midnight local time.
Call of Duty: Vanguard Preload
While Call of Duty fans are waiting for these release times to arrive, they should make sure to go ahead and preload the title onto their systems. Indeed, players that have preordered a digital edition of the game are now able to download it regardless of the platform that they will be playing on. While it is certainly not mandatory that prepurchasers load the game prior to its launch, doing so will allow these fans to get into Vanguard as soon as it goes live.
That said, before a player can preload the game, they must first make sure that they have enough room on their systems. For console players, around 60 GB of space should be enough to download the title, while PC owners can get a minimized version of the game that comes in at just 36 GB. Notably, these are just the launch file sizes for Call of Duty: Vanguard, and the game will likely take up more space as it expands over time.
Call of Duty: Vanguard releases on November 5, 2021, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
