The Elden Ring Nightreign Forsaken Hollows release times are a bit confusing, with the major update coming out at completely different times around the world depending on your platform. For console players, it's relatively simple as The Forsaken Hollows launches at midnight in your local time zone (unless you're in North or South America). For Steam players, it's getting a simultaneous release, so you just need to find out when 8AM Japan Standard Time on December 4 is for you.

It's worth mentioning that pre-loading does not seem to be available for this update, so the release times listed below are when the update will go live on storefronts and not when you will be able to play. You may also need to download the update manually, as explained in this official page.

For console players, The Forsaken Hollows update for Elden Ring Nightreign will become available to download and play at midnight on December 4 in your region, except in the Americas where it will be playable by midnight EST. That means those in the west coast US in the PST time zone will be able to start playing Elden Ring Nightreign at 9PM on December 3 while those in Brazil's BRT time zone will have to wait until 2AM on December 4.

In theory, Xbox players should be able to use the tried-and-true New Zealand time zone trick to get the update installed as soon as it lands on the storefront at midnight in New Zealand. I'm not sure that this will definitely work for a game update, but you can try changing your console's clock to match NZDT to try and start installing the update as early as 3AM PST / 6AM EST / 11AM GMT on December 3.

Nightreign Forsaken Hollows release time for PC

The Forsaken Hollows releases on Steam globally at 8AM Japan Standard Time on December 4, which works out as 11PM UTC on December 3. That means it's a global simultaneous release for the update and some time zone conversions are needed, which are as follows:

• USA Pacific: December 3 at 3PM PST
• USA Eastern: December 3 at 6PM EST
• UK: December 3 at 11PM GMT
• Central Europe: December 4 at midnight CET
• Australia: December 4 at 10AM AEDT

Once you've got the update installed, you should be able to dive in and start unlocking the new Nightreign characters, including the Elden Ring Nightreign Scholar.
