Deluxe Early Access Time
Digital Deluxe benefitDigital Deluxe owners receive three days of early access; Bandai Namco lists September 29 while PlayStation gives September 28 at 3:00 PM PDT for its global start.
Use the listed official zone first, then confirm the countdown on the purchasing account. Calendar dates can differ at the same global moment.
Why Deluxe Early Access Time matters
The apparent one-day discrepancy is explained by time zones: a September 28 Pacific start is already September 29 in Europe and Japan.
What is confirmed—and what is not
The benefit is not a demo, and purchasing after the early-access window cannot restore elapsed early time. Physical and regional eligibility can differ.
