For me it shows:
Local time: 31/05/2024, 02:00:00
Event time: 30/05/2024, 15:00:00 PST
But it should be 01:00 because PST is currently not being used: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/pst
#The local time conversion on events pages is not correct because it is not currently PST

i think on this event it was a case of bad data rather than a bug? I updated it with the correct dates, and should be fine now.
Here's what i see now (i'm in CET)
Can you confirm what you're seeing now?

I still see PST with wrong local time
a lot of events here https://www.igdb.com/events use PST when it should be just pacific time

Sorry to butt in, but I decided to look into this. According to playstation.com it happened:
"3pm PT" "11pm BST"
Since (according to timeanddate.com) no location is currently using PST (-8), the 3pm refers to PDT (-7), this can be confirmed by how BST (+1) is 8 hours ahead (BST is 8 hours ahead of PDT, but 9 hours ahead of PST).
So the event did not occur at 15:00 PST / 23:00 UTC / 01:00 CEST, but rather at 15:00 PDT / 22:00 UTC / 00:00 CEST.
I have seen many times where people use PST/EST when they actually mean PDT/EDT.

Daylight savings is fun.

Yes, specially since there are regions in CA/US/MX that does not follow DST, say Arizona, this can cause issues whether someone refers to actual MST (Arizona) or if they incorrectly referred to MDT. So some people say that Arizona uses PST during summer ... which is a double error: it's not PST during summer, it's PDT, and Arizona doesn't use PDT but MST.
