What Time Will macOS Ventura Be Released? [Update: It's Out!]

by

Update: macOS Ventura is rolling out now, though it may take a few minutes before it shows up for some users.

First announced in June at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, macOS Ventura is Apple's next-generation operating system for Mac and it is launching today in most countries around the world. Given a simultaneous worldwide release, some countries will not see a launch until the early hours of October 25.

While Apple hasn't officially announced what time ‌macOS Ventura‌ will be released, we have a fairly good idea based on previous releases as Apple typically releases major operating system updates at around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. There have been a few exceptions to this schedule, but only on a very limited basis and usually in somewhat unusual circumstances that we aren't seeing for macOS Ventura.


Assuming the typical 10:00 a.m. Pacific launch time, macOS Ventura will be available at approximately these times around the world:

  • Honolulu, Hawaii — 7:00 a.m. HST
  • Anchorage, Alaska — 9:00 a.m. AKDT
