When exactly will steam drop the update? Is it midnight? And what time zone? ---

Am sitting eagerly in the ‘midnight camp’ with you but it looks likely to be around 2-4pmGMT tomorrow. ---

No idea…Steam just kind of do whatever the hell they feel like and they have been late in the past. What we know for a fact in terms of confirmed times is Xbox unlocks digital preorders at 6am pacific/9am eastern/2pm uk time, and PSN has a two week long in game event scheduled to start two hours after that…which presumably they’ll give people a couple hours to download and install the update before the event begins. ---

My PS4 update is scheduled for 11 am Eastern (3 hours from now). And @Oshoryu, are there seriously no patch notes? That seems strangely deliberate (doubt its an oversight.) ---

In all honesty, I wouldn’t even know how to present patch notes for such a large update. You have to do it somehow, but you also have to filter a lot… > [@DarthTrethon](#): > > Steam just kind of do whatever the hell they feel like Steam keeps its server s from melting down by distributing peaks. In explicit, this usually means that the server only tells a certain number of clients that an update is available depending on the load. At least that’s how I would do it. For that matter, there has been not a single word about NEXT on GoG. We _assume_ we have the same schedule as everyone else, but nobody mentioned GoG ever in the whole process. It wasn’t even on the first NEXT teaser. ---

That’s the in-game live event that will last two weeks…not the actual update itself. We only know the update can’t release any later than that time on PS4 but we should be given an hour or two before the event to download and install the update. ---

It would be awesome in the NMS website had a 16 minute countdown timer before NEXT dropped. You know, for the end of the universe. ---

I agree but they likely wouldn’t do it because they have five different platforms to worry about and they won’t all be on point…Steam and GOG are notoriously bad when it comes to making people wait all day for patches. ---

I hope it doesn’t delay to upload for 2 weeks from now. I took vacation time for this. I may have to give it back…that’s disappointing. [Next page](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/next-drop-time/5507.md?page=2)
