 Dates/Times

HL2 Set to Release Same Time Across World

quote:
The question that has been on everybody's lips is at what time will Steam unlock on the 16th or at what time can I buy HL2 from retail? HL Fallout member War_Buddy has sent in some interesting news on this subject, reporting from Vivendi Denmark.

The word is that not only will HL2 be released on the same date across the world, but also the same time. Vivendi are forcing retailers to only start selling HL2 at midnight Seattle time (GMT-8), with taking into account time zone differences. The reason being is that Vivendi are planning to release HL2 across the worldwide simultaneously, for both retail and steam.

We have created a list of the release times for HL2 from each time zone around the world according to Greenwich Mean Time.

Ok, VALVe's timezone is -8GMT or Pacific Time. They're located in the State Of Washington.

  • It's 10:15PM, November 5th -8GMT. (At the time of this post...)
  • HL2 Will not be playable until November 16th 12:00AM
    -8GMT Time (That's Pacific Time in the US)


Figure out which GMT Timezone 1 2 you're in to understand when YOU should be able to play HL2.

Use the Search feature instead of spamming.

(Times are estimates)

Here are the timezones w/ the provided release time:

  • -12GMT || 8:00PM (Nov 15th)
  • -11GMT || 9:00PM (Nov 15th)
  • -10GMT || 10:00PM (Nov 15th)
  • -9GMT || 11:00PM (Nov 15th)
  • -8GMT || 12:00AM (Nov 16th) (VALVe's Time)
  • -7GMT || 1:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • -6GMT || 2:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • -5GMT || 3:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • -4GMT || 4:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • -3GMT || 5:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • -2GMT || 6:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • -1GMT || 7:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • GMT || 8:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • +1GMT || 9:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • +2GMT || 10:00AM (Nov 16th)
  • +3GMT || 11:00AM (Nov 16th)

*Note DayLight Savings: For those South of the Equator - your GMT time will be an hour ahead. So if your GMT Zone is listed 6 on here, then it will be released and hour ahead or 7 in this example.

Times are subject to change.
