In terms of when Outriders launches in full, players on consoles will be able to start playing at midnight on April 1 in your country. For US players, this means that you can start playing the game at 12 AM EDT. On PC and Stadia, the game will launch April 1 at 17:00 BST / 9 AM PDT globally. According to the developers, this global release time is due to the way that the PC and Stadia storefronts are set up.
