Rise and fall release time?

[craney1987]

Is there likely to be a physical copy available? Only because I got a voucher for a games shop I haven't used yet...

The last time we did this, my update started automatically after I bought it on Steam.

Release times have been confirmed on Twitter by the Marketing Manager. Here is a summary:
21:00 (9pm) PT, Feb 7th (US pacific coast)
00:00 (midnight) ET, Feb 8th (US atlantic coast)
05:00 (5am) GMT, Feb 8th (UK)
06:00 (6am) CET, Feb 8th (Europe mainland)
16:00 (4pm) AEDT, Feb 8th (Canberra, Australia)

Im in Australia.

Steam Page says "Available 8th Feb" in approx 5 hours.

This is 3pm (or could be 4pm as quote says) Thursday the 8th. (in 5 hours)
I thought the release was going to be 9th of Feb. the game is launching early. I only just checked up on it today.

My steam is downloading a Civ 6 update of 1.1GB right now. So it is pre-loading. EDIT: this is the patch 1.0.0.216

Think that might just be the patch?

I got the same download.

My Steam page also says about 5 hours before the game unlocks. I am also in Australia. That would make the unlock time 4pm or thereabouts. That's good, I'll get all my boring domestic stuff done and then have an evening playing something new.

I too am in australia, but because i have just started an electrical apprenticeship with Ergon energy (queensland electricity distrabution company), so i will not be able to play untill i return home tommorow night, around 26 - 28 hours after release. It sucks.

I'm glad! On "Last Week Tonight" John Oliver did a segment about them sometime last year.

I'm new to CF so I don't know the rules regarding linking videos, but if you search for "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver - Bolivian Zebras" on youtube you can find the clip!

Oh, yes. I did watch that, of course. I thought it was hilarious and it was all over the news here. Even the Mayor's office reached out to him and extended an invitation to La Paz.

I am hoping they announce another day of transportation strike. That way I get to stay in and play from...I mean work from home.

You are right, my version is now 1.0.0.216. Reading patch notes now.

Where do you guys see how long before the download begins on steam? Mine just says Play.

 

[Architect]

I had to verify game files to get the download to start.

Hah, I did that anyway. I've had all day. I want the game to be ready. It is.

"This game will unlock in approximately 1 hour"

 

[Trengilly]

tick tock tick tock

 

[Southern_Hunter]

Approximately less than one hour

 

[Ornen]

How big is the download? Steam lists 13gb but I figure most of that's the base game.

Still waiting on my GMG key unfortunately, but if it's not here in an hour I'll just buy on Steam and get a refund. I would hold off till morning, but if this Christmas Eve feeling keeps up, I doubt I'll be able to sleep well anyway.
