What 18:00 UTC means
PlayStation and Xbox both stamp 2026-11-05T18:00:00Z in their product data. That is 19:00 in Poland (CET), 13:00 US Eastern and 10:00 US Pacific. It is a store field, not a press release that says “global unlock.” Steam shows a local countdown and does not publish one clock. I am not claiming every PlayStation region waited for 18:00 UTC.
The demo became the entire first chapter on 29 May 2026, including the clock tower, for one or two players. Buying the game is what continues past that tower.
