Know when you can start manning sails with these Windrose Early Access release times

Survival games are always a fantastic affair, and when you throw a pirate theme into the mix, that makes things even more appealing.

Enter Windrose. Think of a more gritty Sea of Thieves with the addition of base building, an extremely fun experience that’s made even better shared with others.

Below, we’ll get into when the Windrose Early Access release times are, so you can get prepped ahead of loading those canons.

What is the Windrose Early Access release time?

If you do want to start sailing the high seas, plundering whatever you can get your hands on, knowing the Windrose Early Access release time means you’ll get in exactly on launch.

Windrose Early Access releases globally on April 14, 2026, with the specific time tailored to where you are in the world.

Here is the exact hour it will be available in your time zone:

Obviously, since Windrose is only entering Early Access at this stage, we hope that everything holds up, and you’re actually able to get some pirating done on launch.

Going off the number of views videos of the game have, coupled with social media hype, we definitely recommend you are sitting at your keyboard when those aforementioned times roll around to try and avoid any potential download hiccups.

Sadly, there is no pre-load, but the download is less than 30 GB, so thankfully, you’re not looking at Call of Duty levels of ridiculousness.
