The long-awaited RPG from Square Enix, Forspoken, is finally about to arrive on PS5 and PC. Although many critics have been disappointed with the latest foray from the Final Fantasy 15 development team, there are still many people out there, including critics, excited to jump into the open-world Isekai experience. For those that would like to know just when they can expect to play the digital version of Forspoken, this guide will go over the expected release times on PS5 and Steam.
Forspoken Release Time
While the developer nor publisher have shared official information on the release time for Forspoken, the countdown clocks on PSN and Steam paint a picture of when fans should expect the game to go live.
PS5
According to the PSN listing for Forspoken, the game is expected to launch digitally around 12 AM ET on January 24. Once players download and install Forspoken, the game should be able to be played once it strikes midnight on the east coast. For those on the west coast, like California, Forspoken should be available around 9 PM PT on January 23. It should also launch around 10 PM for those in the Mountain time zone and then 11 PM for those living in Central time.
PC/Steam
And those that plan on checking out Forspoken on PC via Steam should be able to start the game around 12 PM ET on January 24. This means that those on the west coast can play Forspoken around 9 AM PT on Tuesday.
Forspoken File Size
There has been some controversy surrounding the large file size of Forspoken, so players should make sure they have enough storage space on their console (and PC) before trying to download it. The PS5 version seems to take up around 90 GB of space, and the PC version asks players to have at least 150 GB of space. The PC requirements to play Forspoken are also pretty hefty, so fans will need a powerful machine before exploring the world of Athia.
Forspoken launches on January 24 for PC and PS5.
