ELI5: Why do games come out later in Europe even if that's where they were developed?

A lot of it will come down to the translation. For a game to be released in the whole of Europe, the game has to be translated into many, many different languages. Whereas in America, you maybe have just Spanish and French alongside the English.

Another interesting trend to note is that games are often released on Fridays in the EU, and Tuesdays in the USA.

But mainly, it's down to localisation. The cultural differences are much wider in the EU, so more changes will have to be made.
