Mistfall Hunter Launch Day
Unlock clock, regional times, editions, Game Pass, and what to do the hour servers open.
Mistfall Hunter unlocks July 29, 2026 at 6:00 PM Pacific Time, which is 01:00 UTC on July 30. Bellring Games and Skystone Games ship the dark fantasy PvPvE extraction ARPG simultaneously on Steam (app 3282300), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, with cross-play and day-one Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate and PC Game Pass). This page is the launch-hour companion to Release Date — clocks, carts, installs, and first extracts without inventing patch IDs or promo codes.
Watch the embedded Official Launch Gameplay Trailer above for day-one combat, rival Gyldhunter fights, and boss framing before you queue.

Game Pass versus PlayStation Plus
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass include the base game day one on Xbox Series and Xbox on PC. There is no equivalent day-one PlayStation Plus entitlement — PS5 players buy Standard or Deluxe. Cross-play still lets Game Pass, Steam, and PS5 squads mix when privacy settings allow. Details: Game Pass.

First hour checklist
- Install from Steam, console store, or Game Pass — expect queues.
- Link the same account used in Open Beta for mail reclaim on Codes (Bell of Return frame, Finger Heart pose, and the “No, it’s a bug!” emote promised to playtest participants).
- Pick a class with Class Picker — Mercenary remains the gentlest onboarding path on Best Beginner Class.
- Read Getting Started and run the Extraction Checklist before risking warehouse gear.
- Extract to Windrest camp after securing Soul of Return — How to Extract.
- Bookmark Patch Notes for day-one hotfixes.
