Elden Ring PC Global Pre-Load and Release Timings Announced

Friday fast approaches, and timing matters — especially for Tarnished with slow internet or minimal free time. Today’s announcement revealing the global release timings for PC should help anyone who needs to min-max their schedule. Excitingly, it looks like the release date is actually February 24th for everyone west of central Europe, so good luck to all the denizens of the Americas with restraining yourself from running home early on Thursday!
