Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will launch on Thursday, July 9, with release times varying depending on your platform and time zone. Preloads for the game are currently live on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, allowing players to get a head start on the substantial download.
On PC, including GeForce Now, the game is scheduled to unlock on Thursday, July 9, at 10 a.m. EDT. This translates to 7 a.m. PDT on the west coast of North America, 11 a.m. BRT in Brazil, 3 p.m. GMT in the United Kingdom, and 4 p.m. CEST in Western Europe. Players in Japan can expect to access the game at 11 p.m. JST on Thursday, July 9, while those on the east coast of Australia will see the release at 12 a.m. AEST on Friday, July 10.
The console release follows a different schedule, unlocking at 12 a.m. local time on July 9, regardless of region. This means players in the Pacific time zone will also need to wait until midnight PDT on July 9 to begin playing, unlike some other major game launches.
For players eager to jump in as early as possible, a method involving changing console region settings to New Zealand exists for both Xbox and PlayStation 5. However, this requires creating a New Zealand-based account and switching between accounts to access other games, a process that may outweigh the benefit of a few extra hours of playtime.
The file size for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is considerable, making preloading a recommended step for anyone aiming to play on launch day.
