PGA 2K23 is one of the most anticipated games coming this month. The release date and early access launch time for PGA 2K23 is here as pre-orders are still live and you can still claim the bonus. Find out when is the upcoming golf simulator dropping on all platforms.
Tiger Woods is the cover star this year and has also got his premium edition that brings a number of cool bonuses. The Tiger Woods edition is also coming earlier than the standard edition. However, you’ll have to pay off additional dollars to get that.
The series took a break last year as 2K didn’t release an installment in 2021. This makes the upcoming iteration even more special as golf fans are hyped up to know what the developer was cooking during the time off.

The early access release date of PGA 2K23 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at the predicted time of 9 PM PT/ 12 AM ET/ 12 AM BST. This means that the players in the NA region will get access to the game earlier than players in Europe.
