The release times for the Elden Ring Nightreign Forsaken Hollows update are a little tricky, as they vary depending on where you are and what platform you’re using. Console players can expect the update to become available at midnight local time, except in North and South America. Steam users will get the update all at once, so check what time 8 AM Japan Standard Time on December 4th is in your time zone.
Just a heads-up for anyone excited about the update: it looks like we won’t be able to pre-load it this time. That means the times listed for the release aren’t when we can actually start playing, but when it shows up in the store. We might even have to download it ourselves, and they’ve got all the details on how to do that on their official page.
Nightreign Forsaken Hollows release times for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One

The Forsaken Hollows update for Elden Ring Nightreign will be released for console players at midnight local time on December 4, with one exception: players in the Americas can start playing at midnight EST. This means players on the US West Coast (PST) can begin playing at 9 PM on December 3, while those in Brazil (BRT) will need to wait until 2 AM on December 4.
Xbox players might be able to download the update early by using a common trick: changing their console’s time zone to New Zealand. While this usually works for new game releases, it’s not certain it will work for an update. If you want to try, change your console’s clock to New Zealand Daylight Time to potentially begin downloading the update as early as 3 AM Pacific Time, 6 AM Eastern Time, or 11 AM GMT on December 3rd.

The Forsaken Hollows update will be released worldwide on Steam at 8 AM Japan Standard Time on December 4th. For players in other time zones, this translates to 11 PM UTC on December 3rd. This ensures everyone gets the update at the same time, so here’s a quick time zone breakdown:
