In recent years, it has become increasingly common for new game releases to offer an Early Access period, and *Atomfall* is no exception. Fans can jump into the game up to three days early. While the standard edition of *Atomfall* is set to launch on Thursday, March 27th, those who pre-order the Digital Deluxe or the PC-exclusive Quarantine Edition will have the opportunity to start playing on Monday, March 24th.
Although *Atomfall* will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an option for Game Pass subscribers to access the game early. In the past, Microsoft has allowed Xbox Game Pass members to play the standard edition through the service, while offering the chance to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access. This was the case with several first-party titles like *Starfield*, *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*, and *Avowed*. However, such a promotion does not appear to be available for *Atomfall*.
While an official release time for *Atomfall* has not been widely announced, fans can likely anticipate its availability on Monday morning in the United States. The Microsoft Store currently lists the release time for *Atomfall* as 10am Eastern Time on March 24th. Changing your region and language settings does not seem to affect this release time, suggesting that the popular New Zealand trick may not work for *Atomfall*. Keep in mind that these details are subject to change, and this article will be updated as soon as Rebellion provides more precise information about the game's launch timing.
*Atomfall* will be released on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass on March 27th.
