Cultural Tip
In Brazil, ‘sair’ is the most common verb to talk about a game’s release, similar to ‘come out’ in English. The phrase is informal but perfectly acceptable in everyday conversation. If you’re speaking in a more formal context (e.g., a press interview), you might use ‘serão lançados’ instead of ‘vão sair’.
