Me too, a leading 23 always suggests to me it is less than a day.

Do we know if the game will maybe be available already by 19 of January or there’s an exact time of launching?
we dont really know. Travis made a random tweet about H3 releasing in a specific amount of hours, but i dont know if he was actually talking about the release hour of the game or the release day (the 20th)
I don’t know about other platforms, but PlayStation is counting down to midnight (on the 20th) local time.
The only other game I preordered was TLoU2 and that was also playable at midnight local time (meaning people in Japan and Europe got to play it sooner than those of us in the Americas) so I just kind of assumed that was pretty much the standard. 
(And, as I recall, the time in Travis’ tweet would have been midnight for him…)

I also remember when I preordered RDR2 on PlayStation that there was a midnight release in your local time.
They did this for Hitman 2, and will probably do it again for Hitman 3

Did anyone even get it early for H2? I don’t recall seeing any early streams or posts about it.
yeah, i remember GTA-JJ or whatever his name was got it early. and a bunch of us were in a private message asking him questions about the game :’)
Ah, that’ll be why I don’t remember. Wasn’t part of the secret chat.

maybe someone else will get it early and you can be a part of the new secret chat… if it happens 
since i ordered two copies of the game by different retailers i might get lucky this time lol
Even if it doesn’t happen, I’ll still get it “early” thanks to the kickass NZ timezone.

No risk for me: digital deluxe 
Sure, but I’ll use spoiler tags of course. i also might start a giveaway, because i ordered the Deluxe Version via LRG, because i thought it was the only way to get a Physical Copy of the Game and the Passport - you know, because IO is so great at communicating. A few days later i see i can get it also via Amazon, so i bought it there and tried to refund the LRG Version, but it turns out their sales are ‘final’.
So now i get 2 Versions of the Deluxe Edition and afaik i cant use the US DLC code in Europe anyways, so i think I’ll share it with a poor Soul from overseas

i am also getting the digital edition 
so i’ll be waiting until midnight… will probably bash through the main story and then go to bed. it’s so odd that it’s releasing on a Wednesday
Same here, I will play Dubai at midnight
I wonder if IO will do what WB did for H2 and give out a bunch of keys to streamers/YouTubers that can start broadcasting the game at midnight in NZ and the game is officially out. There were a shit ton of streams on Twitch when H2 launched.
