Valor Mortis Release Time: Exact Launch Times by Region
Valor Mortis unlocks at one global moment on October 13, 2026: 17:00 UTC (10:00 AM PT / 8:00 PM Moscow / 1:00 AM October 14 in Beijing). The developers confirmed the single simultaneous launch in the official "Launch Trailer and Launch Times" community post, which includes a release-times map instead of a rolling regional rollout.
Global Unlock Time
Rather than a rolling midnight release, Valor Mortis goes live everywhere at the same instant: 8:00 PM Moscow time on October 13, 2026, per the official launch-times announcement — that converts to 17:00 UTC, 10:00 AM PT and 1:00 PM ET.
The offsets below are standard timezone conversions of that single 17:00 UTC unlock and apply to all platforms at once.

Can You Preload Valor Mortis?
There is no preload and no pre-order for the Steam version: the publisher decided against pre-orders entirely, so the store page flips to purchasable the moment the global unlock fires. Console store versions follow the same October 13 date and the same no-preorder approach.
How to Be Ready at Unlock
- No pre-order exists — buy the game when the unlock time arrives
- PC players: check the requirements first — an SSD is explicitly required and the minimum GPU is an RTX 2070 Super-class card
- Xbox players: Game Pass Ultimate includes the game from day one, so subscribers can pre-install nothing and simply play at unlock
- PS5 players: PlayStation Plus Premium members get a free 90-minute trial to sample the combat
- No preload means a normal-sized download starts at unlock — expect some waiting time if your connection is slow
