  • For UK players that makes the conversion simple: the UTC column in our tables is your clock.
  • Ireland is on GMT as well; Central European countries are one hour ahead.
  • The UK pre-load opens before US players in the Americas see November 12, so UK players can start downloading while it is still the evening of November 11 in New York.
