Crimson Moon officially launched on September 1, 2026, hitting PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store all at once. The worldwide simultaneous release meant no region got it early, but local clock times varied significantly depending on where you live. Here's everything you need to know about when the game dropped and where you can play it.
When did Crimson Moon release?
The global launch landed at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT on September 1, 2026. Because the release was simultaneous across all regions, players in Asia and Oceania technically crossed into September 2 on their local calendars before they could jump in.
