Shrek 2 Remastered Release Time: When It Unlocks on November 10

Shrek 2 Remastered is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and it unlocked at 12:00 p.m. ET on November 10, 2026, which is 5:00 p.m. GMT and 6:00 p.m. CET. The Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 copies arrived at the start of each region’s day on the same date: 12:00 a.m. ET in the United States and 12:00 a.m. GMT in the United Kingdom.

PlayStation and Xbox list the same 12:00 p.m. ET unlock, and Steam’s store page shows the game available to buy from the same day. The Nintendo eShop pages still carry no hour, just the date. That made Nintendo the first platform out of the gate, 12 hours ahead of the PC, PlayStation and Xbox moment in the US and 17 hours ahead in the UK.

The game costs $29.99 on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam and Nintendo, and Steam, Xbox and Nintendo currently show 10% off at $26.99. Steam’s PC page asks for 15 GB of storage. Its minimum spec is Windows 11 (64-bit), an i5-10400 or Ryzen 5 3600, 8 GB of memory and a GTX 1060 or RX 570. It recommends a Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB of memory and a GTX 1070 or RX 5700.

Nintendo’s US store page says “Releases 11/10/26” and attaches no hour to it, so the Switch and Switch 2 copies arrived at the start of each region’s day on November 10: 12:00 a.m. ET in the United States, 12:00 a.m. GMT in the United Kingdom and 12:00 a.m. JST in Japan. Nintendo lists one to four players on one system, and the Xbox store listing puts online co-op at two to four. Online Play and Save Data Cloud are the only Nintendo Switch Online features the game touches, and the Switch 2 download is 7.7 GB.

Aspyr rebuilt the cult-classic game with better textures, an enhanced interface, 4K resolution and cutscenes, plus a Photo Mode for snapshots and a Cheat Mode. Couch co-op means every player is on the same screen, and mixed co-op splits a group between that screen and online players. The action-adventure runs solo or with up to three friends, the heroes can be swapped at any time, and Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and friends are all back in Far Far Away. The launch sits on our release calendar, and our Shrek 2 Remastered listing collects every story we have run, including the Xbox Store listing we reported in October.

We re-checked all four store listings before publishing, and they still agree on one worldwide moment for PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Consider the split that leaves players with: a Nintendo day early for most regions, then one shared moment for everyone else. Aspyr has turned a cult-classic button-masher into a four-player co-op game with a photo mode and a cheat menu, which is a bigger swing than a straight remaster and the thing worth checking on launch day.
