Does Atomfall Have an Early Access Period? Answered

In line with current gaming trends, Atomfall offers an Early Access period that allows players to jump in up to three days before the official launch. 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.

For Xbox Game Pass subscribers, unfortunately, there's no early access option available with the service. Historically, Microsoft has enabled Game Pass members to access the standard edition of a game on launch day, while offering the possibility to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access. This has been the case for titles like Starfield, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Avowed. However, Atomfall does not appear to follow this pattern, and Game Pass subscribers will have to wait until the official release date.

What Time Does Atomfall Come Out? Answered

Although no official release time has been broadly announced for Atomfall, early indications suggest a potential launch at 10am Eastern Time on Monday, March 24th, according to the Microsoft Store. It's worth noting that changing your region and language settings does not seem to affect this timing, which suggests that the "New Zealand trick" for early access may not work for Atomfall. Keep in mind that these details could change, and this article will be updated with any new information from Rebellion regarding the game's release schedule.

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