Wolfenstein: Youngblood, officially scheduled to release July 26, be be out one day early on PC, according to a tweet from Bethesda.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood releases this week, and for PC players, it’s available one day early. The co-op shooter’s official release date is July 26. That’s the day it’s coming out for consoles, and it’s still the release date listed on Steam and Bethesda’s online store. However, the official Bethesda Twitter account recently announced that PC users could get their hands on the game before everyone else.
Bethesda initially tweeted about the game saying it was, “launching July 26 on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch,” but not mentioning PC. Another user replied to ask about the PC release, and that’s when Bethesda responded with the news.
PC launches globally a day earlier on July 25!

One day early might not be a huge deal, but it’s a nice, unexpected bonus for PC players who want to start killing Nazis. As we recently learned, Youngblood breaks new ground on the digital fascist destroying frontier. Germany’s video game regulatory body approved a version of the game to depict uncensored Nazi iconography for the first time.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s minimum and recommended specs for PC were recently released, if you want to see whether your rig can handle it. The requirements aren’t too steep, so any reasonably modern system shouldn’t have much of a problem. The flip side of that is Youngblood won’t support ray-tracing at launch. The developers are planning to patch it in in the future. But if players were hoping to put a particularly powerful PC through its paces with the new Wolfenstein game, they’re going to wait a little longer.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood stars the twin daughters of B.J. Blazkowicz. It’s meant to be played entirely in co-op. But if you don’t have a buddy to play with, one sister can be controlled by AI. You can also purchase a “buddy pass” for the game. This option lets someone who doesn’t own the full gameplay along with you.
