So Just want to be sure, Since I did pre-order the Ultimate Edition of D4 (and as you know I get “up to” 4 days till release) and I heard from a YouTube Video about Blizz announcements that the “official” release date is IIRC 4PM PST on Jun 1st? But yet on the Blizz Launcher it says 6/6/2023? So… what one is it? Here is the video I was talking about. Huge NEW Announcement For Diablo 4 | Asmongold Reacts - YouTube
Time stamp about the release time/date is 13 mins and 14 seconds on the video.

It is a bit confusing but it depends what region you live:

“1am CET (June 2) in Central Europe”
Guess I will turn the day around on release 
Nah I hope they solve all queue problems untill 6am when I wake up ^^. I’m not a kid anymore that plans his day arround a videogame release. On top of it if we have this bad time windows for seasons then FU seasonal race content.
Wouldn’t that then be 6PM CST June 1? and not the 2nd? but ty for the info does help a lot!
They are doing a global midnight release in Europe and the time is based on that. So whatever your gmt minus is, is what time you get it. PDT is GMT -7 so I think it should actually be at 5 PM rather than 4. I think they forgot to do daylight saving again.
This is why many, many people think the USA should get rid of Daylight Savings Time. I live in PDT and I am not sure what time GMT is. It is 0839 PDT and 1539 GMT right now. So that is -7 GMT. Also, you do not count the starting zone. So, they did mix it up and it is 5 PDT but I will take that extra hour if it happens.
I just know every time I set a clock on some site or game GMT-8 is what I pick and then DST makes it 7

I was on a government sponsored vacation for normal life at an undisclosed location when my family tried to call me. They had forgot about DST and it took almost a week to reconnect. It would have taken longer but we had some access to internet and we were able to use the timestamp to figure out what happened.
