Dying Light 2 Stay Human is the sequel to Techland’s hit game, Dying Light. Dying Light 2 is set to release on Feb. 4, 2022, and many fans have eagerly been awaiting the game. That being said, some may be wondering if you can play Dying Light 2 early or in early access.

The answer is no—you cannot play Dying Light 2 in early access or before launch. Pre-ordering any edition of the game does not grant players early access on any platform. Players will be able to pre-load Dying Light 2 before launch, however.

Numerous games have granted players early access in the past, either through a beta, pre-ordering, or other means. Unfortunately, this is not the case for Dying Light 2, and players will have to wait until Feb. 4 before they play.

While many are eager to get their hands on Dying Light 2, they will have to be patient for a little longer. Fortunately, Feb. 4 and Dying Light 2’s launch are right around the corner, so there isn’t much time before it is available. If you want, you can make sure to pre-load the game so that you are ready to play immediately come launch day!
