Does Atomfall Have an Early Access Period? Answered

In recent years, it's become increasingly common for new game releases to offer an Early Access period, and *Atomfall* is no exception. Players who pre-order the Digital Deluxe or the PC-exclusive Quarantine Edition will have the opportunity to start playing up to three days early. While the standard edition of *Atomfall* is set to launch on Thursday, March 27th, those with the special editions can jump in as early as Monday, March 24th.
Unfortunately, for Xbox Game Pass subscribers eager to play *Atomfall*, there doesn't seem to be an early access option available. In the past, Microsoft has allowed Game Pass members to access the standard edition of new releases on day one, with the option to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access. This was the case for titles like *Starfield*, *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*, and *Avowed*. However, it appears that no such promotion is in place for *Atomfall*.
What Time Does Atomfall Come Out? Answered
While an official release time for *Atomfall* hasn't been broadly announced, fans can anticipate a launch on Monday morning in the United States. The Microsoft Store currently lists the release time for *Atomfall* at 10am Eastern Time on March 24th. It seems that changing your region and language settings won't affect this timing, suggesting that the popular New Zealand trick won't work for this game. Keep in mind, however, that this information could change, and this article will be updated as soon as Rebellion provides further details on 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.
