Halloween: The Game release time, modes and maps

Digital Deluxe preorders received Early Access from September 4 at 9 AM PT. The full launch followed on September 8 at 9 AM PT. The game is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam and Epic Games Store.

The singleplayer story puts you in control of Michael Myers. Multiplayer supports 1v4 matches as Michael or as one of 10 civilian characters, giving streams both a focused story mode and a social, replayable format.

• Haddonfield Town Center

• Haddonfield Heights

• Orange Grove Estates

• East Haddonfield

Across those four maps, players can pursue hundreds of cosmetic unlocks. Civilian characters can build Perk Card decks, while Michael has skins, tints, starting weapons, executions and abilities. Digital Deluxe also adds Richard and Alexis.

Why this launch works for streamers

Halloween: The Game has several formats that translate cleanly to live content. Creators can build a first-playthrough show around the story, host community multiplayer or follow progression across Haddonfield in a longer series.

• Blind story session: experience Michael Myers’ story live with viewers.

• 1v4 community lobby: bring regulars together for a group session.

• Role rotation: let the group swap between Michael and civilian roles.

• Civilian perk challenge: build and test Perk Card decks under pressure.

• Cosmetic unlock series: track new looks and customization choices across sessions.

• Clips from chases and escapes: turn the most tense moments into short-form highlights.
