How to Download Sunbreak and Filesize
Regardless of the release time, it is possible that getting access to Sunbreak may change depending on various factors.
It is possible that Nintendo and Steam's servers experience issues during the day which may slow down or delay game updates.
It can also depend on your Internet speed, as Monster Hunter Rise will have a sizeable update to add Sunbreak content in the game.
Delays have previously happened with the Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter: World in consoles, wherein the game was first made available for players living in eastern time zones.
Pre-orders for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is available up until the game's release, and can be purchased in Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch and in Steam for PC.
