When does Silent Hill: Townfall unlock for you?
It depends on the store, not on where you live. Steam has one unlock instant for the whole world; PS5 unlocks at local midnight in each PlayStation Store region. The clock below reads yours.
Thu 24 Sept, 04:00 UTC
Thu 24 Sept, 04:00 UTC. Stated by the store: Steam store API (release timestamps).
The exact instant is above. The countdown starts when the page loads.
Every unlock on one 24-hour clock
On this axis Steam is not the first store to open. By the timestamps the Australian store unlocks 14 hours before Steam and the UK store 5 hours before it, while the US store lands on the very same instant. That is what “local midnight” does to a store that cuts the world into regions, and it is why a PS5 player in Sydney and a PC player in Sydney do not unlock together. Steam instant from Steam store API (release timestamps)
PS5 timing is written up store by store on the PS5 page, and the Windows side, including the Epic question, on the PC page.
Every row, in your time zone
Times show in UTC until the page loads, then switch to your zone. The Status column compares each row with your own clock.

Why Steam’s page can show another day
Steam’s store page prints the release day in Pacific time, and most other sources print it in Eastern or local time. Both are the same instant, so a one-day gap between Steam and everything else is a time-zone artifact, not a second release day. The same shift applies to the Deluxe head start. Day printed on the Steam store page
Only the Los Angeles bar sits a calendar day behind New York’s, and Los Angeles is where Steam’s Pacific wording comes from. The table below prints the same instant in each city with its calendar day.
| City | Local time |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles | Wed 23 Sept, 21:00 |
| New York | Thu 24 Sept, 00:00 |
| London | Thu 24 Sept, 05:00 |
| Berlin | Thu 24 Sept, 06:00 |
| Mumbai | Thu 24 Sept, 09:30 |
| Beijing | Thu 24 Sept, 12:00 |
| Tokyo | Thu 24 Sept, 13:00 |
| Sydney | Thu 24 Sept, 14:00 |
The trailer that announced the date
The official Release Date Trailer plays here from Konami’s own channel. It is one of the official videos gathered on the trailers page.
Deluxe early access: stated on Steam, inferred on PS5
Steam’s own field states the Deluxe Edition’s early-access instant, 48 hours before full release, and the table lists it as stated. For PS5 the start time is Not found on any first-party page. Each PS5 Deluxe row is that store’s own release time minus 48 hours, the same arithmetic Game Rant’s table shows, and it is marked Inferred for that reason. Cross-check: Game Rant: release time and early access What Deluxe includes, and how Steam shows it, is on the early access page.
What this page does not time
- Epic Games Store: unlock time not read, because its page blocks scripted requests. See the PC page.
- Steam preload: Not found. PS5 preload rests on a community account, covered on the PS5 page.
- Xbox consoles: not at launch. The Xbox page has PlayStation’s own wording on the wait, and the platform board lists every other store.
What would change this page: a different timestamp on Steam or on a PlayStation Store region, or a first-party statement of the PS5 Deluxe start.
