Confirmed evidence

Bandai Namco lists the full game and preorder bonuses for Standard, while early access belongs to Deluxe. Steam may display October 1 because of timezone conversion.

The distinction that matters

A preorder bonus changes launch content; an edition benefit changes access timing. They should appear as separate entitlements.

Decision for this scenario

Use the store countdown for the local moment and do not interpret a nearby calendar date as a different worldwide release promise.

What to do

Open the product page while signed into the account that will play. Save the edition name, bonus list and local unlock display, then confirm free storage and required system settings. After launch, verify licenses from the platform account before repurchasing content or assuming a server problem.

What remains unconfirmed

Preload timing, download size and platform-by-platform unlock processing are not published.
