Open questions

  • Whether Steam and Epic unlock at exactly the same moment as PS5.
  • Price, retailers and contents of the three 2027 PS5 disc editions.
  • A PC physical release.

One launch hour

S-GAME posted the Official Launch Trailer on October 22, 2026, a week before release. Its description gives the times the studio had not announced until now.

Launch is at 10 AM Beijing time on October 29, which is 02:00 UTC and 7 PM PT on October 28. That matches the hour the PlayStation Store already listed for PS5.

Preload on October 27

Preload opens two days earlier, at 10 AM Beijing time on October 27 (7 PM PT on October 26). The date had only come from PlayStation Store backend data before; S-GAME now confirms it.

The studio still has not given a download size: the 134.8 GB PS5 figure comes from store data.

PS5 discs, in 2027

The description ends on "One more thing: the PS5 physical edition arrives in 2027!"

The trailer's last card shows three boxes: a Standard Edition, a Deluxe Edition, and an Ultimate Edition in a collectible steel case, with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc. No price, retailer or contents came with them.

Earlier in October, Play-Asia had pulled its PS5 disc listing after being told there would be no physical edition.
