  • NZDT: 12 am November 9

Since the game unlocks at midnight on November 9, whenever that is for your time zone is when you’ll be able to play. There is no specific global launch, which means New Zealand will start playing to game almost a full day ahead of folks in America.

You can also try to change your time zone on your PlayStation to New Zealand time to start playing God of War Ragnarok early but always do so with caution.

You can already start pre-loading the game, so if you want to ensure everything is good to go when it unlocks, make sure everything is downloaded and the game is up to date. It can be frustrating to want to start playing immediately, but part of the game isn’t downloaded, or a significant patch landed before launch. Always check that you’re game is ready to go.

Well, that’s everything you need to know about what time God of War Ragnarok unlocks. For more tips, tricks, and guides, be sure to check out Prima Games. You can look at the difficulty levels to help decide what you will play on.
