As you can see,Clair Obscurwill have a simultaneous launch worldwide. While launch times vary, that’s entirely based on timezone, and has nothing to do with a regional rollout.

And somewhat unfortunately for the impatient player,there’s no early access program. It doesn’t matterwhich edition you bought, when you preorderedit, or whether you plan on playing it via Game Pass; you’ll have to wait until it launches to playClair Obscur: Expedition 33.
