Call of Duty: Vanguard release date for consoles and PC

As per official word from the developer, Call of Duty: Vanguard is scheduled to launch on November 5, 2021 for the majority of the world. However, some players might be able to get their hands on the game a day earlier, on November 4, 2021. This is simply due to the timezone difference at launch.

Those getting to open up Call of Duty: Vanguard early are the ones purchasing the game on PC. For console users, the launch will strictly be on November 5 unless they somehow acquire a physical copy early.


Call of Duty: Vanguard release times for consoles and PC

Console players will be able to launch Call of Duty: Vanguard at midnight local time. That means the game will open up at different times across the world for those on PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Those on PC will benefit from a global release. Anyone purchasing Call of Duty: Vanguard will be able to play the game at the same time. That is what makes it available for some on November 4 and others on November 5.

If you look at the global PC launch times, those in LA will receive access at 9:00 pm local time while those in New York will get to play the new COD at midnight local time.

If players want to launch Call of Duty: Vanguard just a bit earlier, they'll need to get their hands on the PC version. If they get it on console, they'll just have to wait until the midnight hour of November 5.
