In today's gaming world, it's become quite common for new titles to offer an Early Access period, allowing players to jump in a few days before the official launch. Atomfall follows this trend, giving fans the opportunity to play up to three days early. While the standard edition of Atomfall is set to release on Thursday, March 27th, those who pre-order the Digital Deluxe or the PC-exclusive Quarantine Edition can start playing as early as Monday, March 24th.

Unfortunately, Xbox Game Pass subscribers won’t have access to the early play period. Although Microsoft has previously allowed Game Pass members to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access in titles like Starfield, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Avowed, no such option appears to be available for Atomfall.

What Time Does Atomfall Come Out? Answered

While an official release time for Atomfall hasn’t been widely publicized, fans in the United States might expect it to go live on Monday morning. The Microsoft Store currently lists the release time for Atomfall as 10am Eastern Time on March 24th. It seems unlikely that changing your region and language will allow for the 'New Zealand trick' to work, as the release time remains consistent. However, this information could change, and this article will be updated once Rebellion provides more details on the game’s release timing.

Atomfall will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass on March 27th.
