Victoria 3 Release Date & Time

Victoria 3 is the much-anticipated third installment in the beloved grand strategy series. One of Paradox’s most successful and popular franchises, Victoria 3 is going to see you lead a nation during the 1836-1936 period. As this is a very tumultuous period of history, this won’t be an easy task. From economy, to diplomacy, and warfare, you will be able to control every aspect of your country. We have all of the relevant Victoria 3 details, including the release date and time, right here.

When Does Victoria 3 Come Out?

Victoria 3 is scheduled to release this Tuesday, October 25th, 2022. The Steam page points to a 3 PM BST / 7 AM PT / 10 AM EST release time. Speaking of Steam, it looks like the game is going to be a Steam exclusive, at least for now. While it was initially announced for the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass, this has since been changed. To quote the devs themselves:

“Dear Victorians! We are proud to say that we just reached another milestone in Grand Strategy history – Victoria 3 is finally available for pre-ordering. With the game release being scheduled for October 25, we hope that you will enjoy the unique experience of national gardening in the tumultuous XIX century, leading your nations to prosperity. The game will be a Steam exclusive at the release – after discussion with our partners it was decided that Victoria 3 won’t be a part of Game Pass or Microsoft Store. Xbox fans of Paradox’s epic grand strategy titles can enjoy our games like Crusader Kings III, Stellaris, Shadowrun Trilogy, Hearts of Iron IV and more with Game Pass today and we look forward to sharing more details on our next partnership with Xbox in the future.”

In any case, we can’t wait to play the game itself, and we’re sure that you also share our enthusiasm for Victoria 3.
