Valor Mortis Release Date & Unlock Times (PS5, Xbox, PC)

Valor Mortis launches on October 13, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. That is the store-listed release date shown on the game's Steam page and repeated in publisher announcements as of October 10, 2026, three days before launch. Exact unlock times differ by platform and storefront, and published conversions disagree with each other, so treat your store countdown as the final word until the developers post confirmed times in writing.

When Does Valor Mortis Come Out?

The short answer: Tuesday, October 13, 2026. The Steam page for Valor Mortis lists that date with the game still marked as coming soon, which matches the publisher's launch messaging across all three platforms. There is no early access period, so nobody plays the full game before that date through an official early-access program.

Valor Mortis Unlock Times by Platform

The developers published a "Launch Trailer and Launch Times" announcement through the game's Steam news feed, including an official Release Times map graphic. However, the map is an image without a text version, and the two media outlets that converted it into clock times disagree. That means no single unlock hour below should be treated as confirmed until the developers or the stores restate it in text.

Here is what has been reported so far:

Because the two reported PlayStation conversions differ by a full hour, the safest move is to check the countdown timer on your own storefront on October 12 rather than planning around either number. PC players should watch the Steam page directly, since Steam unlocks are controlled per region by its own countdown. Our Game Pass day-one guide covers what time the subscription version should appear, and the PS Plus trial page explains the separate 90-minute PlayStation trial.

What Platforms Is Valor Mortis On?

Valor Mortis is confirmed for three platform families: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam. The Steam version is listed for Windows only, with full controller support including DualShock and DualSense pads. The game is single-player only, so there is no cross-play or co-op unlock to wait for on any platform.

There is no last-generation PS4 or Xbox One version, and no Switch or Switch 2 version has been announced. Steam Deck verification has not been confirmed either, with only older unofficial playtest footage to go on, so handheld players should wait for launch-day reports.

Why the Date Moved: September 24 to October 13

Valor Mortis was originally scheduled for September 24, 2026, before shifting to October 13. The delay was announced in June 2026 and covered by outlets including GameInformer, pushing the game back by just under three weeks. No additional delays have been announced since, and every official channel now points at October 13.

The extra time puts the launch three days out from this page's last update with no further movement signaled. If you followed early coverage quoting the September date, that information is outdated: October 13 is the current store-listed date on every platform. For the full story behind the studio, the publisher, and the delay, read our Valor Mortis developer and delay history.

Price, Editions, and How to Play on Day One

The Standard edition costs $39.99 and the Deluxe edition costs $59.99, with Deluxe bundling weapon skin packs and a major story DLC planned for 2027. Notably, digital pre-orders were never opened, so most players will simply buy or subscribe on October 13 itself. Physical disc editions for PS5 and Xbox exist through retailers for collectors.

Your cheapest day-one route depends on your platform:

• Xbox or PC with Game Pass: the full game joins Xbox Game Pass on launch day, so subscribers play at no extra cost.
• PS5 with PS Plus Premium: a 90-minute timed trial is available, but this is not the full game and progress rules need launch confirmation.
• Everyone else: buy Standard at $39.99, or Deluxe at $59.99 if you want the future story DLC included.

The campaign is described by the developers as roughly a 20-hour experience, which frames the $39.99 price well against longer premium RPGs. For help deciding, our demo guide recaps what the now-offline Steam demo contained, and the Valor Mortis FAQ answers the remaining launch-week questions in one place.

What to Do Until Launch

With three days left, the practical checklist is short. The limited-time Steam demo is currently unavailable, so there is nothing left to pre-play before release. No pre-load details, review scores, or day-one patch notes have been confirmed yet: the Metacritic page showed zero critic reviews as of October 10, and preview coverage is the only critical reading available. Background reading that holds up well includes the first-person soulslike overview, which summarizes the combat, setting, and systems from official trailers.

If you plan to start at unlock, decide your platform now: Game Pass subscribers should confirm their subscription tier, PS Plus Premium members should know the trial is time-limited, and Steam buyers can wishlist the game so the unlock notification arrives automatically.
