Weed07 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 So we all know today IS the day, now we need to speculate on the time, I'm hoping for a 9am kick off because that would be 24 hours since the YouTube Alpha videos went live, I'm expecting a late kick off though, maybe around 5pm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

c0nn0r Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hope it’s today so we can play the beta. Part of me hopes it’s not today because it would kill the “it’ll be released when it’s ready” belief with it looking like today was decided beforehand as the beta day.

Because it is. Also Epic games briefly showed todays day for early access. Also Alpha videos dropped yesterday. Also if not today then likely Monday. Also if not today I think people will riot.

bowieinspace Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Last year the alpha videos came out on YouTube the day before the beta im pretty sure. I checked Zealand’s channel and his video released on the 19th, beta on the 20th. I remain confident today is the day. I’m ready 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday is the most common day. They won't release on a Friday or Weekend Monday would be exactly 14 days before the expected release (and if it goes past Monday it would be the shortest beta ever).

Part of me hopes it’s not today because it would kill the “it’ll be released when it’s ready” belief with it looking like today was decided beforehand as the beta day. It's definitely decided before hand. They don't just coincidentally get it ready approximately 2 weeks before each year. Plus the things like the YouTube and twitter etc need to be arranged. Also they have to balance it out between creating hype. Giving enough time for beta players to play, but not long enough that people binge it and then refund it (with steam, you can play as much as you want and refund it at any time in the beta. Because it's beta, the 2 hour rule does not apply) Edited October 19, 2023 by trevjim 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
