What time is The Outer Worlds 2 released?

Early access and daylight saving time make things complicated

Those who purchase the premium edition will be able to start playing from October 24, while those who pick up the standard edition can start playing from October 29. It's worth noting that the Game Pass version of the game is the standard edition, but you can purchase the Premium Edition upgrade separately if you also want to get five days of early access through Game Pass.
