Early access and launch time
Pre-order grants 24-hour early access, which began May 26, 2026 at 7:00 AM PT. That made the earliest playable moment Tuesday, May 26, 2026 at 7:00 AM PT for anyone with a pre-order, with the standard worldwide launch following 24 hours later on May 27.
Early access is tied to pre-ordering rather than to a specific edition, so a standard pre-order was enough to play a day early.
