Marvel’s Midnight Suns launches on December 2 at midnight in your region, according to our findings on both the PlayStation and Xbox stores. If you live in a region that spans multiple time zones, such as the US, it’s likely that Midnight Suns will release at midnight in just one time zone, so you’ll have to do some converting, although this has not been officially confirmed by Firaxis or 2K yet. The Midnight Suns unlock times in the US are 9pm PST/11pm CST on December 1, and 12am EST on December 2.
How to preload Midnight Suns
Pre-downloading for Marvel’s Midnight Suns is available now on Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles. If you’ve pre-ordered the game, and have automatic downloads turned on for your PS5 or Xbox Series X, Midnight Suns should begin pre-downloading on its own, but obviously you must be connected to the internet for it to work. Also make sure you’ve got a good amount of space available on your console’s storage to download it – at least 50GB of free space.
If you don’t have automatic downloads turned on you should be able to manually begin the pre-download by checking the game’s product page on the PlayStation or Xbox storefront. With Midnight Suns pre-downloaded, you’ll be able to get into the game as soon as it goes live on December 2.
