Minecraft Dungeons 2 is live. It did not stagger its launch by region: the PlayStation Store’s listing gives one worldwide unlock moment, and every platform shares the September 29, 2026 release date. Mojang’s launch post went up the same day.

What time did Minecraft Dungeons 2 unlock?
It unlocked at 08:00 UTC on September 29, 2026. That comes from the PlayStation Store’s release metadata, which lists 2026-09-29T08:00:00Z and shows pre-orders as closed. No written announcement states the hour, so this is store data rather than a quoted statement from Mojang.
What time was that where I live?
Here is 08:00 UTC on September 29, 2026 converted to common timezones. On that day the US, UK and Europe were still on summer time, and Sydney had not yet moved to daylight saving, so these are the offsets in effect.
| Region | Local unlock time | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Pacific (PDT, UTC-7) | 1:00 AM | September 29 |
| Mountain (MDT, UTC-6) | 2:00 AM | September 29 |
| Central (CDT, UTC-5) | 3:00 AM | September 29 |
| Eastern (EDT, UTC-4) | 4:00 AM | September 29 |
| UK (BST, UTC+1) | 9:00 AM | September 29 |
| Central Europe (CEST, UTC+2) | 10:00 AM | September 29 |
| India (IST, UTC+5:30) | 1:30 PM | September 29 |
| Japan / Korea (JST/KST, UTC+9) | 5:00 PM | September 29 |
| Sydney (AEST, UTC+10) | 6:00 PM | September 29 |
Did the unlock time vary by platform?
Not according to any storefront. The Xbox and PlayStation listings share the same release date and do not carve out separate windows for console, PC or cloud. If your store app showed a different time on launch day, trust that in-app countdown over this page.
Was there a preload, and how big is the download?
Press coverage says no preload was offered. Download sizes are on the store pages now: Nintendo’s store shows roughly 6.8 GB on the first Switch and 6 GB on Switch 2. Other platforms did not publish a figure on the pages we checked.
An older listing shows a smaller Switch figure, but the store page is more recent, so we use Nintendo’s number.
Should I have pre-ordered?
Pre-orders are closed, and they never changed the unlock time. They added cosmetic bonuses only. See our editions and pricing breakdown for what each edition includes, and our beginner tips for your first hour in the game.
