Harry Hawker is back in the Sniper Elite series, stepping into the limelight as the main character you get to play. He’s uncovered a sinister Nazi plot involving a formidable new weapon, and it’s up to you to thwart their plans and alter the course of the war.
Mark your calendars, as Sniper Elite: Resistance is set to roll out with two different release dates. The early access is penciled in for Tuesday, January 28, followed by the official launch on Thursday, January 30.
Curious about when you can dive into the action? Here’s what you need to know about the release times across various time zones, getting your hands on the early access version, and enjoying the game through Game Pass.
### How to Get Early Access to Sniper Elite: Resistance
If you’re eager to jump into Sniper Elite: Resistance ahead of its full release, you’ll need to grab the Deluxe Edition. This gives you the chance to start your mission on Tuesday, January 28, at 9 a.m. EST, as noted on the game’s Steam and Xbox pages.
Opting for the Deluxe Edition not only gives you a head start but also includes the M1911 Pistol and a Season Pass that promises additional content throughout the year.
### Sniper Elite: Resistance Release Time
For those going with the standard release, Sniper Elite: Resistance becomes available on Thursday, January 30, at 9 a.m. EST, according to the Xbox store page.
To ensure you’re ready right when it drops, here’s a quick peek at what that translates to in various time zones. While these times are specific to the Steam version, you can expect a similar release window across other platforms.
### Is Sniper Elite: Resistance Part of Game Pass?
Yes, Sniper Elite: Resistance will make an appearance on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. However, bear in mind this is only for the standard edition when it launches on Thursday, January 30.
For those who can’t wait and wish to access the game early, purchasing the Deluxe edition at its full price will be necessary. It’s also wise to double-check your Game Pass subscription, as Sniper Elite: Resistance isn’t accessible through the Standard or Core versions.
