Release date and what “out now” means
Digital copies went on sale on 23 October 2026. That is not the same date as every boxed Xbox copy.
Last checked: 2026-10-24. Facts below were re-read on 2026-10-24.
Evidence and limits
The official launch article, Steam release_date field, PlayStation product and Xbox digital listing were re-read on 24 October 2026. Trailmark itself now supplies the physical Xbox notice: a production issue moved that edition to 3 November. This is direct publisher evidence, not a wiki-derived date.
Digital launch versus physical retail
The confirmed digital release day is 23 October 2026. Trailmark explicitly attributes the later Xbox Series X physical date to a production issue; it says digital versions remain on 23 October. Do not describe all Xbox copies as delayed.

| Xbox Series X physical | 3 November 2026 | Trailmark production notice |
| Switch 2-specific physical stock | Not separately verified | Check the exact retailer SKU |
Unlock time is not the article timestamp
A publication timestamp is not proof of a store unlock time. No per-region unlock schedule was verified in the checked official pages. Use the selected store and your account region to determine whether you can download now.
For a physical purchase, inspect the retailer edition, console, delivery estimate and stock status. The publisher release date does not guarantee delivery to your address.
