Anthem’s early access timetable and preparations
This is likely to be one of the final opportunities for gamers to try out Anthem. Anthem’s early access launch is the last act before the game’s official release next week. Because various platforms will function differently with the Anthem early access release, it’s worth reading on to discover how yours will.
15 February 2019 — The Anthem early access release for PC (full title) will need an Origin Premier membership.
Anthem early access for Xbox One and PC (15 February 2019) – Basic Origin/EA Access membership subscription
Anthem will be released on February 22nd across all platforms.
When and where will Anthem be released in early access?
The Anthem early access release starts at the following times, regardless of whether you have EA Access, Origin Access basic, or Premier:
15:00 GMT – United Kingdom
16:00 PDT for the rest of the EU
7:00 a.m. PDT on the West Coast of the United States
10:00 a.m. EDT on the East Coast of the United States
Keep in mind that PC customers with an Origin Premier Access subscription will get access to the game at the specified time. Those with basic access – EA or Origin Access – will have ten hours to play Anthem early access before being booted out. Players will be able to pick up where they left off once Anthem is officially released on February 22nd.
In other words, if you stay on one platform, you won’t lose any of your progress (not jumping from PC to Xbox for example).
Preloads for Anthem’s Early Access release
Because of the game’s many platforms, the Anthem early access release may be a bit perplexing.
The bad news for PS4 owners is that they will have to wait until February 22nd to play the game, with information on when the full release preloads will be available being scarce.
On the other hand, Xbox One on PC will be easily accessible at the time of writing this post, giving you a head start for when the game releases.
