Tears of the Kingdom is right around the corner, with many players ready to go on launch day, but the exact time the new Legend of Zelda game will be playable varies depending on your region. <\/p>\n

Fortunately, we\u2019ve broken down when you can expect Tears of the Kingdom to be playable so you can jump straight into Hyrule and begin your exciting new adventure.<\/p>\n

What Time Does Tears of the Kingdom Become Playable?<\/h2>\n
Nintendo has confirmed that Tears of the Kingdom will become playable at the following times:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
9 PM Pacific (May 11)<\/strong><\/li>\n
10 PM Mountain (May 11)<\/strong><\/li>\n
11 PM Central (May 11)<\/strong><\/li>\n
12 AM Eastern (May 12)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While Nintendo hasn\u2019t confirmed the release time elsewhere in the world, Tears of the Kingdom will likely launch at midnight locally. <\/strong><\/p>\n
This applies to both digital and physical versions, so long as you manage to grab a physical copy early at GameStop\u2019s midnight launch. <\/p>\n
It is worth noting that the midnight launch across the globe means you can play Tears of the Kingdom a day early with the New Zealand trick! <\/p>\n
