Overview
- Digital preorders unlock campaign early access starting October 16 and PC preload is already available so buyers can download the game ahead of play.
- The DMZ extraction mode opens to preorder players on October 20 with some regions seeing the DMZ window begin on October 21.
- The full game becomes available to everyone on October 23 at midnight local time in each territory.
- Activision has not announced exact clock times for the early-access windows so outlets have published provisional countdowns and some predict a 10 a.m. Pacific unlock for early access.
- Players should plan for roughly 115GB of PC storage, note that early access is limited to digital copies and the game will not join Xbox Game Pass this year, and the DMZ’s separate progression and paid items have raised balance and onboarding concerns for new players.
