Back 4 Blood, the spiritual successor to Valve's famous Left 4 Dead series, launches October 12th, 2021. If you've pre-ordered the game, you'll be ready to play on day one, but when will you be playing, exactly? In this article, we'll explain everything you need to know about Back 4 Blood's release.
Back 4 Blood Release Date
While you may already know Back 4 Blood goes live on October 12th, you may not know that the game is launching simultaneously on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Microsoft Windows all on the same day.
Though the game releases on the same day everywhere, more specific times have not been announced. Unless this changes and we hear more information, we can usually assume the game will unlock at midnight local time on October 12th. However, even if that's the case for some regions, it may not be the case for all regions.

Back 4 Blood Release Time for U.S., U.K., and Australia
As we get closer to Back 4 Blood's official launch, we may hear more about when exactly the game will be live for gamers across the world to play, but as of now, the only date we have is October 12th.
This isn't unusual, though, because many games simply go live at midnight on their release day. Plus, even if the publisher or developer don't formally announce specific times, if the game supports preloading on Steam before launch we'll be able to get a more specific countdown to the game's unlock time from Steam after pre-loading
If midnight your local time on October 12th passes by without the game going live, don't worry, because the other most common unlock time for games is 10am PST. So, barring any further details being revealed, that is the other most likely release time.
10am PST is 6pm U.K. time and 3am Australia time the next day. Naturally, midnight local time just means 12am going into October 12th, not the 13th.
