Life is Strange gained widespread praise from fans for its story, characters, and decision-based gameplay when it was released episodically in 2015. Seven years later, Deck Nine has given it the remaster treatment in this updated bundle with its prequel, Life is Strange: Before the Storm.
Fans eager to jump into Arcadia Bay and experience Max and Chloe's time-bending story again will have to wait until it releases in their timezone. Thankfully, an official global release date has been announced, and players can find out exactly when the Life is Strange Remastered Collection releases in their country by reading below.
What Time Does Life is Strange Remastered Release?
The Life is Strange Remastered Collection releases around the world on February 1, 2022, with a release time of 9 AM PST/12 PM EST. As the remaster has a single global release time, fans only need to convert these North American numbers into their own local time zone to see when it releases.
The Life is Strange Remastered Collection release times in most major time zones are:
- 9 AM PST (Los Angeles).
- 10 AM MST (Colorado).
- 12 PM EST (New York).
- 2 PM BRT (Sao Paulo).
- 5 PM GMT (London).
- 6 PM CET (Berlin).
- 8 PM MSK (Moscow).
- February 2, 1 AM SGT (Singapore).
- February 2, 4 AM AEDT (Sydney).
Some release times are more convenient than others for players to finally get their hands on the remaster of the original and Life is Strange: Before the Storm, but at least this release method means nobody will be left waiting to return to Arcadia Bay as others are already exploring it.
Those who purchased the ultimate edition of Life is Strange: True Colors on Xbox consoles are able to preload the two games by manually searching for them on the Xbox app. PC and PlayStation owners will, unfortunately, have to wait for the official release time to start their downloads.
Those looking to play on the go will have to wait even longer, as the Life is Strange Remastered Collection has been recently delayed on Switch. True Colors also received a Switch delay when it was released on other platforms in September, but only by two months. The exact Switch release date of the remasters is unknown, as it is just slated as releasing "later this year."
Life is Strange: True Colors perfected the Life is Strange formula for many players, so it will be interesting to see how fans react to replaying the first game in the series, and its prequel, after experiencing Alex Chen's story so recently.
Life is Strange: Remastered Collection launches on February 1, 2022, for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with a Switch version releasing later in 2022.
