In recent years, it has become increasingly common for new game releases to offer an Early Access period, and *Atomfall* is no exception. Players who can't wait to explore this thrilling new world can get 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 have the chance to start playing as early as Monday, March 24th.

Unfortunately, for Xbox Game Pass subscribers eager to jump in early, there's no special access available. While *Atomfall* will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, the early access perk is reserved exclusively for those who purchase the Digital Deluxe or Quarantine Edition. In the past, Microsoft has offered Xbox Game Pass members the option to upgrade to a Digital Deluxe Edition for early access to first-party titles like *Starfield*, *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*, and *Avowed*. However, this option isn't available for *Atomfall*.

What Time Does Atomfall Come Out? Answered

While no official release time has been widely announced for *Atomfall*, fans in the United States can likely anticipate it to go live on Monday morning. The Microsoft Store currently lists the release time for *Atomfall* as 10am Eastern Time on March 24th. It appears that changing your region and language settings won't affect this release time, suggesting that the popular New Zealand trick won't work for this game. Keep in mind, however, that these details are subject to change, and this article will be updated as soon as Rebellion provides more concrete information about the game's release timing.

*Atomfall* is set to release on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass on March 27th.
