Bayonetta 3 release time and pre-loads

It’s less than 24 hours until Bayonetta’s third adventure finally graces us. It’s been eight years since the last game in the series and it’s fair to say that fans are pretty excited about what Bayonetta 3 has to offer. Some people are so excited that they’re going to want to start playing the second the game becomes available, it’s just a matter of knowing when.

We’ll let you know exactly when Bayonetta 3 is set to unlock on Nintendo Switch so you don’t wait a moment longer than necessary.

Bayonetta 3 release time

Friday, October 28 is the date you want to save and, if you’ve bought the game digitally on Nintendo Switch, it will become playable at 12am ET/5am BST/6am CEST, so you’ll have all day on Friday to dig into it. This also means that those on the east coast will get the game a little earlier on Thursday, October 27 with the game unlocking at 9pm PT.

Bayonetta 3 pre-load

If you’ve already digitally pre-ordered the game, or your physical copy has arrived early, then you can pre-load the game on your Switch right now. Simply select the game on your Switch menu and the game should start to download automatically. If it doesn’t, then press the + button to open the options menu and start it manually from there. The game is 16GB, so make sure you’ve got enough room on your memory card.
