Eligibility
The official announcement offers DMZ Early Access with a digital preorder or prepurchase of the Standard Digital or Vault Edition. Campaign Early Access has a different start date: October 16.
Early access time and release time
These are separate milestones. The main release date is October 23. We do not display a precise countdown because the verified announcement does not establish one universal unlock time for every platform and region.
If access is missing
Work through the purchase details before reinstalling large files.
- Confirm you are signed into the platform account that owns the purchase.
- Check that the entitlement is digital and includes the announced benefit.
- Review the available game content in your platform library.
- Read the latest official notices for region, platform or service changes.
Beta access is a different question
Do not treat a multiplayer beta code or beta date as proof of access to DMZ. Check the mode explicitly named by the offer. Keep early-access eligibility and beta participation separate when asking for support.
