In recent years, the gaming industry has embraced the trend of offering Early Access periods, and *Atomfall* is no exception. Fans who can't wait to explore its post-apocalyptic landscapes can jump in 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 get to start their adventure on Monday, March 24th.
Unfortunately, if you're an Xbox Game Pass subscriber hoping to join the early access fun, you're out of luck this time around. While Xbox Game Pass usually offers day-one access to many titles, there's no early access perk for *Atomfall* subscribers. In the past, Microsoft has allowed Game Pass members to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access with games like *Starfield*, *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*, and *Avowed*, but no such option exists for *Atomfall*.
Although an official release time for *Atomfall* hasn't been widely announced, eager fans in the United States might want to mark their calendars for Monday morning. The Microsoft Store currently lists the release time for *Atomfall* at 10am Eastern Time on March 24th. Changing your region and language settings doesn't seem to affect this timing, suggesting that the popular New Zealand trick won't work for this game. Keep in mind, though, that all this is tentative until Rebellion provides a final release schedule, and this article will be updated accordingly.
*Atomfall* will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass starting March 27th.
