Why does my store show September 9?
The same launch instant falls on different calendar dates. China and AEST are already on September 9 when the listed North American and European times occur.
Open the store for your account’s region to check its current purchase, download or unlock message: Steam ↗ · PlayStation ↗ · Xbox ↗. The PlayStation link opens the US listing; select your own region if needed.
