Planet Zoo 2 now has an exact launch time: 3 PM BST on October 13. Steam players who have already pre-purchased will be able to pre-load, with downloads planned to open at 3 PM BST on October 12—one day before launch.
That gives purchasers a straightforward timetable: download during the planned pre-load window, then wait for access to unlock the following afternoon. The wording matters, though: the October 13 launch time is confirmed, while October 12’s pre-load availability is described as planned.
Planet Zoo 2 can still be pre-purchased, so Steam users interested in pre-loading have not missed the opportunity. The next step comes at 3 PM BST on October 12, when that planned download window is due to begin.
