Individuals will be able to load up and enjoy these new worlds at midnight local time on November 15th. That means whenever it strikes midnight in your region, you will have seen the official release period arrive and allow you to enjoy these games as much as you want. We recommend pre-loading whichever of the two games you purchased before they become available. Doing so will allow you to jump in when the release time passes immediately, and the games become available.
