What time will Highguard be playable?
Despite a rather astonishing radio silence, Highguard would like to remind you that it will be available during the day, with a presentation held live a little later in the evening. However, yes, the game is released today, this Monday January 26, 2026. More precisely, it will not be released until the end of the day. And if the studio has not yet spoken, the Steam page has just been updated to announce the availability time:
- Monday January 26 at 7 p.m. (French time)
We don’t know if the PS5 and Xbox Series versions will launch at the same time, but we imagine that this should follow. Let us point out that the final live presentation will be launched at 7 p.m. and we therefore imagine that the servers could only open from the start of the livestream or at the end of it. In any case, the game will not be accessible during the day and it is a safe bet that you will be able to play it around 7-8 p.m.
As a reminder, Highguard is an FPS developed by former creators ofApex Legends And Titanfall. Officialized at the beginning of December during the Game Awards, the title seems to have rather divided the crowds for the moment. It must be said that despite the studio’s experience and the small subtleties implemented in the gameplay (such as mounts), the very generic aspect of the images did not fully convince.
