Back 4 Blood is due to release on October 12, with the global launch schedule now available. However, if you own the Back 4 Blood Ultimate or Deluxe editions, you are entitled to the Back 4 Blood early access, which kick off on October 7 at various times.
Back 4 Blood Early Access
The Back 4 Blood early access is scheduled to go live on Thursday, October 7. The times the early access goes live differs depending on the platform you are plan on playing the game. If you are on Xbox, Windows, or PlayStation, you should expect to see Back 4 Blood go live at the following times:
- 04:00 PT
- 07:00 ET
- 12:00 BST
- 13:00 CEST
However, if you are on Steam or Epic Game Store, then your Back 4 Blood early access goes live at:
- 08:00 PT
- 11:00 ET
- 16:00 BST

The two different global launches are down to the accessibility of the platform. There are four hours between the game launching across all platforms. So, if you’re planning on early accessing and playing crossplay, then you’ll more than likely need to wait an extra four hours before that gets going.
