Assassin’s Creed Phantoms is gearing up for release this week, and ahead of that, we’ve received a global release schedule for the game. Ubisoft posted an infographic on Twitter listing the different time zones that point to a staggered release – meaning the game unlocks at different times around the world. On consoles, the game, set in ninth-century Baghdad, will be available at midnight local time on October 5, which means more impatient players can try changing their system location to New Zealand in an attempt to get in early. The release schedule is simple so far, with preloads already underway on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. PC unlocks are a bit confusing, however, with some regions leading by as much as a day.
There is no mention of India in the infographic, but we can assume that the PC version will launch sometime after midnight on October 5. We have the unlocking time for Abu Dhabi for reference, which is 3 AM GST, which coincides with 4:30 AM India Standard Time. Keep in mind that the PC port is only accessible through the Ubisoft Connect app and the Epic Games Store, where Assassin’s Creed Phantoms launches on October 5 at 4pm UTC (9:30pm in India) .
PC players in Los Angeles, USA, can start playing the game on October 4th at 10pm PDT, while players on the East Coast in New York City can start playing on October 5th at 1am ET. Montreal, Canada shares the same time zone as the latter, while players in London will be able to access it on October 5 at 12am BST – in sync with their console launch. Meanwhile, the PC launch in Tokyo, Japan is scheduled for 10pm Japan Standard Time on October 4, with Sydney, Australia being one of the first regions to have a release on October 5 at 12am (AEDT). Listed below are all other global release times for Assassin’s Creed Phantoms on PC and consoles.

Last month, Ubisoft announced the system requirements for Assassin’s Creed Phantoms, indicating that running the game at Ultra settings won’t require the latest AMD 7000 or Nvidia 40-series graphics cards. At the time, Intel was confirmed as an official partner for the game, which itself was optimized for its Arc series of graphics cards, a brand of GPUs not popular among the PC gaming community. After dabbling in the world of open-world role-playing games for a while, Assassin’s Creed Phantoms takes a back-to-basics approach with a narrower focus on cunning covert assassinations, charting Basim ibn Ishaq’s rise from a thief The road to a feared killer.
Assassin’s Creed Phantoms will be released on October 5th on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. An Apple iOS version is also planned for release in early 2024.
