Highguard, the free-to-play PvP raid shooter announced during The Game Awards in December, is out today. However, developer Wildlight Entertainment hasn’t officially announced the exact time you can get involved in the action.
Luckily, thanks to SteamDB, we know that–at least on PC–the game will have a singular global launch time. There’s no reason to believe that the console launch times will differ, but at this time, we can’t verify them.
Highguard global release times
The Highguard release times in each region are:
- 10:00 am PST
- 1:00 pm EST
- 3:00 PM BRT
- 6:00 PM GMT
- 7:00 PM CET
- Tuesday, January 27, 3:00 AM JST
- Tuesday, January 27, 5:00 AM AEDT
So far, there is no information on whether a pre-load will be available for Highguard, meaning it might be a little while after those release times before you can get into the game–depending on your internet speed.
At the same time, Wildlight Entertainment will share an in-depth look at Highguard during a launch stream. You can expect a deep dive on gameplay, a year one roadmap, and more.
Highguard is an FPS game from the creators of Apex Legends and Titanfall–two of the best FPS games in recent memory. While previews have been mostly positive, the developer’s silence since the game’s announcement has some fans skeptical. Luckily, there’s not long to wait before players can make their own verdict.
