Travelling or using another country’s account?
On PS5 the unlock follows your PSN account’s store region, not your location or your console’s clock. A Portugal account unlocks at 00:00 UTC, Thu Nov 19 wherever you are.
On Xbox the expected rule is midnight in your console’s region. Microsoft hasn’t published the hours, so treat Xbox times as unconfirmed.
Physical copies are a download code in a box. Once redeemed they unlock with digital copies in that account’s store region.
