How to Get Early Access for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined

Purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition

Platform Early Access Date and Time
Consoles February 3, 2026 - Midnight Local Time
PC February 3, 2026 - 05:00 pm UTC

To get the two-day Early Access for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, you will need to purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game. This comes at a higher price point of $74.99, compared to the Standard Edition's $59.99, but it also comes with a bunch of DLCs at launch.

All Edition and Version Differences

Collector's Edition Doesn't Have Early Access

Collector
As a note, even if the Collector's Edition of the game also includes the Deluxe Edition bonuses, it doesn't come with Early Access. This is because it's only available physically, and the Early Access is only available digitally.

Release Date and Countdown

Should You Purchase Early Access?

Yes for the DLCs or if You're a Fan

If you're a fan of the series, or if you plan on purchasing the DLCs anyways, then you should purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition for Early Access. Besides being able to play the game early, the higher price point should make up for the price of the DLCs in itself.

No to Save Money or You're New to DQ

If you're new to the series, or if you don't want to spend the extra $15, then it's completely fine to purchase the Standard Edition and wait for the game to release. You can always purchase the DLCs separatley later if you wish, and two-days isn't a long time to wait.
