Original story (Tue 5th Oct, 2021) Back 4 Blood has snuck upon us. It's hard to believe the game is out on Xbox Game Pass as soon as next week, but it is, and Turtle Rock Studios is here to prove it with some official release times.

Unless you're playing the game via Steam or the Epic Game Store, the timings are pretty simple. It seems no matter where you are in the world, the game will launch at 12:00AM in your local time zone on October 12.
