Standard and Deluxe unlocked together

EA's editions guide lists the base game in both editions and describes the Deluxe extras as cosmetic packs and weapon themes. It does not list a three-day, five-day, or seven-day head start. The launch announcement then marked August 27 as the public release date for the game.

Preload was not early access

A platform can let buyers download encrypted game files before release so the game is ready when the store timer expires. That preload does not permit campaign play and should not be confused with an edition benefit. The same applies to a store countdown or a license appearing in a library before activation.

Review and event access were different

Press, creators, and event attendees may have played preview or review builds before launch. Those controlled sessions were not a consumer product sold with Standard or Deluxe. A video or review published before August 27 therefore does not prove that buyers had public early access.

For the exact public unlock time and supported systems, use the release-date page. The preorder-bonus guide covers the cosmetic offer that did exist.
