More info

Dying Light: The Beast was released on September 18, 2025. Techland’s official announcement confirms the global launch date and platforms, and digital storefronts such as the Steam store page list the same September 18, 2025 release for PC and current-generation consoles.

The launch timing followed a short scheduling shuffle: the game was originally given an August window, later delayed into September for extra polishing, briefly listed for September 19, and ultimately moved up by one day to September 18 after pre-order milestones, a change documented by outlets like Gematsu and summarized in coverage from GamesRadar and GameSpot. Techland also notes that owners of the Dying Light 2: Stay Human Ultimate Edition receive The Beast benefits, and regional unlock times were coordinated for a simultaneous global debut.
