I got the standard version of the game because I’m low on funds right now, but I’m really excited to dive into it! However, I’ve noticed some people are already playing it on the 23rd, even though it’s a day before the early access period starts. Does anyone know how that’s happening?

Some folks might have shelled out more cash to get an early physical copy, or they live in a place where they get the game sooner because of the time shift.
Honestly, it’s a mix of early shipments and those who play based on New Zealand time zones. Pretty wild how some can get the jump on the official timeline!
In some cases, stores don’t strictly follow release dates and sell games as soon as they’re in stock. I’ve experienced that—my local shop sometimes sells games days earlier!
Don’t forget about time zones! If someone lives in a region like New Zealand or Australia, they might already be past midnight on the release date, giving them early access.
A lot of it has to do with physical copies being delivered early. Some stores just ship them out before the official release date, so people can start playing sooner.
