Darktide Beta Start Time for Pre Orders Revealed

Get the exact Warhammer 40,000: Darktide pre-order beta start times for PT, ET, GMT, CET, and AEST. Learn about download size and what to expect.

Alright, so you're looking to jump into the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide beta with your pre-order? Smart move! The devs at Fatshark have let us know exactly when you can expect to get your hands on it. It all came through an official update on their Discord server, posted by a community manager named Aqshy.

According to the update, the pre-order beta is set to go live on November 17th at 10:00 AM PST / 6:00 PM UTC / 7:00 PM CET. So, mark your calendars and get ready to dive in!

Here’s a quick rundown for some common time zones so you don't miss out:

  • PT: 10:00 AM
  • ET: 1:00 PM
  • GMT: 6:00 PM
  • CET: 7:00 PM
  • AEST: 4:00 AM (the next day)

Now, about getting the game downloaded – there's no pre-load time announced just yet. This means the download will only become available right as the beta officially kicks off in your region. So, if you're eager to play, you'll probably be jumping in shortly after the launch time hits.

Also, keep in mind that the exact size of the beta download hasn't been confirmed. However, based on the previous beta test which was around 32GB, it's a pretty safe bet that this one will be in a similar ballpark, possibly leaning towards the 40-50GB range. If your internet connection isn't the fastest, it might be a good idea to plan around this so you can get your download sorted while you're at work or just relaxing at home.

Just a heads-up, this is a private beta, and the developers are still actively working on the game. You should expect to run into some bugs and technical hiccups along the way. That's totally normal since they're still polishing things up for the main release. Any feedback you can provide them during this beta period will be super valuable in getting the game ready for its official launch date!
