Judging by the first wave of reviews, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is going to be a solid RPG that will keep players glued to their screens for weeks to come. As our Adam Beck pointed out inHardcoreGamer’s Dragon’s Dogma 2 review, the game does have a few issues that drag it down a couple of notches, but that will hardly prevent players from enjoying it.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is just around the corner, however, the game won’t release at the same time on all platforms as Steam users will be able to boot up the game a few hours faster than their console counterparts in all regions. The game launches on March 22nd in most places, but players in certain regions will be able to jump in starting on March 21st.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Launch Times

Capcom confirmed the official launch times in all regions to help future Arisen prepare for the impending release. Here’s when you can start playing in your region:

PS5 & Xbox Series X/S

Does Dragon’s Dogma 2 Have Pre-Loading?

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has been available to pre-load on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for quite some time, but this option isn’t available for the Steam version of the game. Word on the street is that Steam pre-loading is still coming, but that may end up being just a rumor. As of this writing, we are around 24 hours away from launch and the option is still nowhere to be seen. Presumably, the main reason why Steam users get access a few hours earlier is precisely because of the lack of pre-loading.

If you haven’t already, verify to download the free Dragon’s Dogma 2 character creator while you wait for launch. Characters made using the customizer can be imported into the full game once it goes live, so don’t hesitate to take advantage of it. Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a very in-depth character creator that’s worth checking out even if you don’t plan on playing the game.
