Halloween: The Game Unlock Times and Preorder Bonuses by Edition
Published 2026-09-174 min read
The full per-edition breakdown for Halloween: The Game: unlock timing, the Phantom and Inmate Michael skins, Richard, Alexis, the Laurie cosmetic and the digital comic.
Both editions of Halloween: The Game carry preorder bonuses, but they are not the same list. Here is the per-edition breakdown, together with the exact unlock windows the game shipped with.
Unlock Times
- Full launch: September 9, 2026, 00:00 (East Asian time zones) — September 8 in Western regions
- Early access: September 5, 2026, 00:00 in the same time zones — four days ahead, Deluxe Edition only
Platforms for both windows: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic).
Preorder Bonuses, Edition by Edition
Standard Edition — one bonus item:
- "Phantom" — Michael Myers exclusive skin
Deluxe Edition — the full stack:
- "Phantom" — Michael Myers exclusive skin
- "Inmate" — Michael Myers exclusive skin
- Richard — exclusive civilian character
- Alexis — exclusive civilian character
- Laurie — Final Girl cosmetic
- Digital comic
