The Rage 2 unlock time and preload dates have been revealed ahead of its May 14 release. If you want to know when you can pre-install and play the game on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, you’ll want to read our guide. Find out when the Rage 2 unlock time and preload dates are below.
Rage 2 Unlock Time and Preload Dates | Xbox One
If your platform of choice in Microsoft’s home console, the Rage 2 unlock time is 12 AM on Tuesday, May 14 in your time zone. If you’re in North America, however, the game won’t unlock until, bizarrely, a minute later at 12:01 AM ET.
As for when you can preload the game so that it’s available to play as soon as midnight rolls around, you can pre-install Rage 2 on your Xbox One starting Saturday, May 11 at 8 AM ET (5 AM PT, 1 PM BST, and 10 PM AEST.)
Rage 2 Unlock Time and Preload Dates | PS4
The Rage 2 unlock time for PS4 owners, like Xbox One users, will be midnight in your time zone on Tuesday, May 14. Again, North American players will have to wait an extra minute until 12:01 AM ET to get it. For those in the UK, for example, that’s 12 AM BST.
The preload date for PS4 users is different from the Xbox One date though. Rage 2 can be pre-installed on your console 48 hours before launch in your territory. That means that North American gamers can begin preloading it on Sunday, May 12 at 12:01 AM ET if you want to.
Rage 2 Unlock Time and Preload Dates | Steam
Finally, Steam users on the lookout for their Rage 2 unlock time need look no further than our guide. The territory that you live in will depend on when it’s unlocked for you, so we’ve handily bullet-pointed the unlock times below.

Prelude to Greatness | PlayStation 4's 2019 Lineup
The frontrunner for much of the current generation, Sony is having a quieter year in 2019. While preparing for future plans and a possible new console, there's not a whole lot of God of War-tier stuff on the horizon. However, PS4 owners still have plenty of games to look forward to. -
Days Gone
Releasing on April 26, Days Gone is a long in development zombie adventure that has had a mixed reception so far. E3 showings have been underwhelming, but a recent round of previews brought some better thoughts. Here's hoping that this one will surprise gamers when it emerges. -
Death Stranding
As of right now, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is set for a 2019 release. While this probably isn't going to be the case, it's still something that PlayStation owners are greatly anticipating. Perhaps they'll anticipate it even more when they know what type of game it is. -
Dreams
Depending on who you are, it's possible you've already been playing Dreams for months. Media Molecules' creation tool will go into a more wide beta this year before patching in single player content in the fall. Considering that we first saw Dreams before the PS4 was out, it's been a long time coming. -
The Last of Us 2
The second chapter in Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic epic is also on the cards for a 2019 release as of now. We'll see more as the year goes on, but expect at least another trailer in case the game ends up on Sony's next console. -
MediEvil
This remake of the PlayStation 1 classic platformer has been hanging around since 2017, and it could pop up again any day now. Sir Dan was almost one of Sony's mascots back in the day, so only time will tell if gamers respond to him the same way in 2019. -
Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled
Moving on to third-party releases, long term PlayStation fans will be eagerly anticipating the return of their kart racer in a remastered state. Crash (and possibly Spyro) will be hopping back into karts for a spruced up grand prix that should retain what people loved about the original CTR. -
Psychonauts 2
Long in development and anticipated for even longer than that, the return of Double Fine's 3D platformer should be cause for celebration among fans. PS4 players, in particular, have already had a taste via the PSVR prequel, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin -
Rage 2
The surprising sequel to id Software's post-apocalyptic first-person shooter, Rage 2 depicts a very neon pink wasteland that players are eager to jump into. It seems like it won't take too much from the 2010 original, so every PS4 player can jump in fresh. -
Shenmue 3
Debuting on the Sony E3 stage several years ago, Shenmue is currently scheduled to return after a long hiatus in 2019. Will you play a game of lucky hit? How are the sailors involved? Is there gameplay this time? We all have to wait to find out. -
The Outer Worlds
Recently making waves due to its Epic Games Store exclusivity, The Outer Worlds is also hitting PlayStation 4 in 2019. Obsidian's stab at a Fallout-esque game in the vein of New Vegas, we're sure plenty of players are eager to try it out after Fallout 76's less than stellar debut.
