The countdown to Frostpunk 2’s launch is on, with players excited and ready to start rebuilding their settlements in the frosty wastelands.
Frostpunk 2 introduces major changes to how you build a city in the frozen wasteland and manage your people. From larger cities and multiple new factions to civilized councils that can act on their own, there’s a lot to explore and account for.
If that got you excited, here’s everything you need to know about the Frostpunk 2 release, including the date, time, and how you can access the game a little bit early.
When does Frostpunk 2 release?
Frostpunk 2 officially goes live on July 25, 2024, on PC and PC Game Pass. However, 11 bit studios is yet to lock in any concrete release time. The survival title’s dates for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are yet to be announced as well, but we know it’s going to arrive on consoles at a later date than PC.
It’s likely Frostpunk 2 will roll out from midnight on July 25 across all regions once it finally arrives. Typically, developers stagger the release times across the different regions. However, as there’s no indication of this for Frostpunk 2 on any platforms like Steam, this staggered approach likely won’t occur.
For now, we’ve set the countdown below for 12am CT on July 25. If anything changes, we’ll make sure to update this article.
