Vanguard Season 3 Reloaded Update Release Time: When Does It Launch?


May 24, 2022:

As expected, the Season 3 Reloaded update for Vanguard is beginning to roll out across all platforms. For PlayStation users, the update takes up 8.7 GB of hard drive space.

As Vanguard players patiently wait to hear more information on the Season 3 Reloaded update release time, many are beginning to wonder what Sledgehammer Games has in store. With no signs of any teasers surrounding the mid-season update, there's only a small amount of content expected to appear in Vanguard multiplayer and Zombies.

Season 3 Reloaded will see the arrival of a brand-new multiplayer map known as Sphere along with the H4 Blixen submachine gun. Other than that, the update is unlikely to contain much new content as the Vanguard cycle begins to wind down.

Despite the small amount of new content, the mid-season update will contain plenty of bug fixes to improve the game for all players. Find all there is to know about the Vanguard Season 3 Reloaded update release time in this hub containing start times, update sizes, and more.

Thanks to Sony's exclusivity deal with Activision, PlayStation users should have the ability to pre-load the update before the action begins.
