In today's gaming world, it's common for new titles to offer an Early Access period, and Atomfall follows this trend. Players who pre-order the Digital Deluxe or the PC-exclusive Quarantine Edition can start playing up to three days before the standard release. While the standard edition of Atomfall is set to launch on Thursday, March 27th, those who secure the special editions will get to jump in on Monday, March 24th.

Unfortunately, for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, there doesn't appear to be an early access option available. In the past, Microsoft has allowed Game Pass members to access the standard edition of a game on day one, while offering the chance to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access. This was the case with titles like Starfield, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Avowed. However, Atomfall doesn't seem to have a similar promotion in place for Game Pass users.

What Time Does Atomfall Come Out? Answered

While no official release time has been widely publicized for Atomfall, early birds in the United States can anticipate the game dropping on Monday morning. The Microsoft Store currently indicates a release time of 10am Eastern Time on March 24th for Atomfall. It seems that adjusting your region and language settings won't affect this timing, suggesting that the popular New Zealand trick won't work for this title. Keep in mind, these details are subject to change, and this article will be updated with any new information from Rebellion about 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.
