It was earlier announced that the Monster Hunter Rise Subreak release date is at the same time as the Nintendo Switch version. Ultimately this makes it so that PC players can enjoy the expansion together with Switch players regardless of the region they happen to reside in.
The earliest time that Sunbreak will be available on the Switch and PC will be at 12:00 AM (Midnight) in New Zealand (UTC +13:00), or 12:00 AM (Midnight) in Japan (UTC +9:00).
Players in countries near the UK will be able to have access to the expansion sometime between 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (UTC +01:00).
Likewise, if the player is on the East Coast (USA), they will have access to it sometime between 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM (UTC −04:00). That’s 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM(UTC −07:00) on the West Coast (USA). This is all happening on June 29, 2022.
Do note that it is possible for server issues to occur, this is especially true when it comes to the Nintendo Switch. Players may need to keep an eye out on CAPCOM’s socials to get an update on the situation should these times pass and the game is not yet available.
