Mycopunk leaves Early Access on October 20; the PlayStation Store lists PS5 at 14:00 ART, Steam gives no hour

Pigeons at Play and Devolver Digital's co-op shooter Mycopunk leaves Steam Early Access on October 20 and debuts on PS5. The PlayStation Store lists 17:00 UTC, which is 14:00 ART; that is store data, not a Sony or Devolver statement. Steam gives no hour. Sony says it joins PS Plus Extra and Premium on day one.
