The official Sons of the Forest release time is 5PM GMT/9AM PT on February 23, 2023. This is quite late in the day for anyone in the realm of Europe, but it is perfect for anyone in America who wants to jump straight in as soon as they wake up.

Here is some additional time zone information if you don't happen to fall into the two stated above:

  • 12PM ET
  • 6PM CET
  • 1AM CST (24/02)
  • 4AM AEDT (24/02)

Do brace yourself for any potential server issues when the game unlocks though, as it is bound to have some problems considering the number of players who will want to start playing. It is officially Steam's most wishlisted game, so be prepared to wait in a potentially very long queue.

It is of course an early access release, meaning that the game is not in a finished state when it comes out later today. However, there is always something exciting about buying into an early access release and watching the game grow and improve as you continue playing it.

Furthermore, Sons of the Forest can be played both solo and cooperatively, so you can jump in with a friend to try and survive the horrors of the cannibal-infested remote island. You're free to do as you please, but you will need to make sure to watch out for all of the dangers that await.

So, that's everything you need to know about the Sons of the Forest release time, so you should now be primed and ready to jump into the game as soon as it launches.
