Sniper Elite 5

With its launch just a couple of days away, Rebellion has tweeted to let us all know when we can jump into Sniper Elite 5.

Sniper Elite 5 has an official launch date of 26th May. That’s just two days away, on Thursday. But if you’re buying the game digitally and wondering when you can download it, it varies a little depending where in the world you live.

Developer Rebellion has confirmed that, on PlayStation consoles, the game will launch at midnight local time, no matter where in the world you are.

But if you’re playing on PC or Xbox, that launch time will vary slightly, depending which region you’re in.

As tweeted by the official Sniper Elite account earlier this afternoon, the below map shows what time you can expect the game to launch:
