Updated on March 11: Capcom has confirmed the release times for MH Stories 3, so our timings have been adjusted a bit!
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections will launch on March 13, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam). Following a global launch timing tweet on X (formerly Twitter), the developers have confirmed that the title will launch at midnight local time on consoles in all regions. However, it’ll launch at 9 PM PT in the States and 12 am ET. For PC, it’s a simultaneous launch at 12 AM ET. For some reason, it’s still launching at midnight local time for Central Time, so we assume the same goes for Mountain Time.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Expected Global Release Time
For those in the United States playing on consoles, Monster Hunter Stories 3 should release at 9 PM on March 12 (California) and at 12 AM Eastern Time on March 13. For a rundown of the global launch times for readers worldwide, check out our handy-dandy time zone chart below:
