Total War: Warhammer 3 release time
The Total War: Warhammer 3 release time is 8am GMT / 3am EST / midnight PST/ on February 17. You can pick it up on Steam, the Epic Games Store, or the Microsoft Store. If you have a PC Game Pass subscription, though, then you’re already set, as it’ll be available from day one.
