15/02/19 Anthem early access release for Xbox and PC (10 hour access window) – Basic Origin/EA Access account subscription

United Kingdom – 15:00 GMT
The rest of the EU – 16:00 PDT
US West Coast – 7:00 PDT
US East Coast 10:00 EDT
Do bear in mind that PC users on an Origin Premier Access sub will be able to jump on the game at the aforementioned time. Those with basic access – EA or Origin Access will be able to play Anthem early access release for no more than ten hours before being kicked out. Once Anthem release fully on Feb 22nd those players will then be able to resume from where they left off.

Anthem Early Access release preloads
The Anthem early access release can be a little confusing due to the differences in platforms with the game.
Bad news for PS4 players is that they have to wait until the game releases on Feb 22nd, with the full release preloads details being a little thin on the ground as to when they’re actually good to go.
Xbox One on PC on the other hand will be readily available for you at the time of writing this article, so it’ll give you a head start for when the game launches.
