The Call of Duty Black Ops 7 release time is imminent, but since the game has two completely different release schedules for PS5 or Xbox, and PC, it's a bit confusing. PC is getting a regional midnight release, and PlayStation and Xbox is getting a global simultaneous release. To help you understand when you'll be able to dive in, I've laid out some important time zone conversions below for all the release dates and times.

And while you wait, make sure you get Black Ops 7 preloaded onto your platform of choice while you still can!

PS5 and Xbox release times

For PS5 and Xbox Call of Duty Black Ops 7 releases at midnight on November 14 in your region, except in Pacific Standard Time regions where it launches at 10pm on November 13. But that means PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series X, and Xbox One players (including PC players via Game Pass or the Xbox store) will be able to play as soon as it hits online storefronts in New Zealand, so by using the age-old trick of changing your console's clock to match NZDT, you'll be able to play early.

Here are some time zone conversions for midnight NZDT, giving you the earliest possible time you'll be able to play in your region:

  • USA Pacific: November 13 at 3AM PST
  • USA Eastern: November 13 at 6AM EST
  • UK: November 13 at 11AM GMT
  • Central Europe: November 13 at 12PM CET
  • Australia: November 13 at 10PM AEDT

PC release times

Black Ops 7 releases on PC globally at 5AM UTC on November 14. That means those wanting to play on Steam or Battle.net will have access to it at the same time around the world, regardless of your region, so you won't be able to use any time zone cheats as above to play early. You may also want to check your PC meets the minimum specs with this Ready for Launch guide.

To help you figure out when exactly 5AM UTC is in your region, here are some more time zone conversions:

  • USA Pacific: November 13 at 9PM PST
  • USA Eastern: November 14 at midnight EST
  • UK: November 14 at 5AM GMT
  • Central Europe: November 14 at 6AM CET
  • Australia: November 14 at 4PM AEDT
  • New Zealand: November 14 at 6PM NZDT
