Golf fans, the wait is almost over! PGA Tour 2K25 is gearing up for its full release, and after an exciting early access demo period, there’s plenty of hype surrounding the upcoming launch. Here’s everything you need to know, from launch times to how to access the game early.

Early Access Launch: Get in the Game a Little Sooner!

If you’ve pre-ordered the Deluxe or Legend Editions of PGA Tour 2K25, you’re in luck! Early access kicks off at midnight local time on Friday, February 21, but since the game runs on Eastern Time, those on the West Coast will be able to tee off at 9 PM PT on February 20. So, if you can’t wait to hit the greens, there’s a way to jump in early.

Bonus Tip: You can even use the “New Zealand trick” if you’re playing on Xbox or PC, just switch your region to New Zealand to get access starting 3 AM PT / 6 AM ET / 11 AM GMT on February 20. Unfortunately, this won’t work on PS5, so PlayStation fans will need to stick to the scheduled release.

Full Release: The Big Day is Almost Here

The official release date for PGA Tour 2K25 is Friday, February 28, with the game going live at midnight local time. For those on the West Coast, that means the game will launch at 9 PM PT on February 27.
