The reason Console and Windows Store users can play at 'Midnight' where as for Steam and Battle.net users its later, is down to the ability to 'pre-install the game.
For Steam & Battle.net, they can't 'pre-install before the game is 'live' so they have to wait until 'midnight' to install before they can play.
Being online only, even if you get the disc before the 25th, you can't access the game until its 'live'. However if you pre-order digitally (or intend to play on Game Pass) on Console or through the Windows Store on PC (rather than through Steam or Battle.net), you can pre-load from 21st Oct ready to play as soon as it goes 'live' in your region...
The most anticipated game of the year along with FC 25
@BAMozzy You play the singleplayer before it's life but its singleplayer? This really shows they control the games you buy.
Removed - unconstructive
Finally, we get to see what the resource-wasting court case between Sony and Microsoft was all about. The fear Sony felt about almost losing this stupid franchise created a panic so large they changed their development cycle to accommodate. Man, do I ever hate Call of Duty!
Anyway, I'll contribute to the problem by playing it on Game Pass.
When can I play on Nintendo Switch? That was part of the deal Microsoft made wasn’t it?
Pretty tired of the COD scene TBH. At least this release will have new maps and not rehashed ones.
@Flaming_Kaiser The Single Player has Online streaming for assets so you cannot play it until it goes 'live' - same as Zombies/MP mode.
All my post was explaining, was the fact that pre-orders on Console and Windows Store can pre-load the game from the 21st and as its 'pre-loaded', they can play from 'midnight' on the 25th - the 'day' it releases. If you buy, you can only buy physically once it 'officially' releases on the 25th October so can only 'install' after its 'live'. Stores shouldn't sell it before...
The point I was trying to make is that the earliest anyone can play is with pre-ordering on Xbox, Playstation or Windows Store on PC so you can 'pre-load' and play 'when' the game is released in your region - also those with Game Pass can pre-load too.
At that 'time' it releases, you can also buy the game on ANY Platform, BUT you'll have to wait until its downloaded and installed before you play and that includes pre-orders through Steam or Battle.net - meaning that you'll have 'delayed' access compared to those pre-ordering on Console or Windows store as well as those with Game Pass.
I don't see the issue - its no different to many other games in reality as you can't play them before they launch - its just that 'some' games may be 'playable' before release if you are able to get hold of a copy 'before' the release date. This is confirming that even if you get your 'pre-order' early, you can't play it because its not 'Live'
Curious to see how this sales now with it being included with game pass.
