I would bet they are releasing on the Wednesday after Labor Day specifically so that the premium early-access date is right before most people with a salaried job are having a long weekend. Which is scummy of MS/Bethesda but I guess I'm the sucker cause I'm taking that whole week off and ofc I want to start playing right after I get off work on Friday. 🤷
They absolutely selected the 6th because the 5 day early access would land on friday before labor day. It's scummy as all hell and yet here I am about to preorder lol. But at the same time they set it up so my first time playing will be over a long weekend so also not scummy... I'm torn tbh.
