Unlike the console release, PC players won’t necessarily be waiting for midnight for their game to unlock, but instead for a specific time based on their region.

These timings are the same for both Steam and Battle.net users, so they’re accurate no matter what platform you play on!
As you can see, there is no difference between PC and console launch timings if you live in the USA.
However, the rest of the globe will need to wait for the game to launch at either 12 AM local time or the equivalent of 12 AM ET, depending on their device preference.
