The Hogwarts Legacy Steam release time is 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT / 7 PM CET. This applies to the US, UK, and European time zones. Though the game is launching on February 10, PC players buying the game through Steam will have to wait until the above time for Hogwarts Legacy to unlock and be playable.
Why is Hogwarts Legacy still locked on Steam?
Hogwarts Legacy is still locked on Steam because the release time hasn’t yet passed. Though it’s release day, the game is still locked behind a release time.
For those used to midnight launches and having the game available as soon as the clock ticks over and the date changes, this can be frustrating. However, many PC releases are subject to release times that occur later on launch day. While annoying, it’s a frustration that Steam users quickly get used to.
Those playing Hogwarts Legacy early are benefiting from owning the Deluxe Edition, which offered up to 72 hours of early access for those who invested the extra cash.
