When does Manor Lords release in your region? The most wishlisted game on Steam is very nearly here, and I can scarcely remember more hype around a city-builder releasing into early access. But Manor Lords has some very neat ideas, including a gridless map with freeform road and building placement, and Total War-esque combat with neighbouring Lords. It’s a great time, and it’s no wonder everyone’s looking to jump in on day one.
Below you can find the Manor Lords release date and time in your region, along with other key information such as the game’s download size, whether it is coming to Xbox Game Pass, and more.
In this guide:

Is Manor Lords on Game Pass?
Good news, my lord! Manor Lords is coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one when it launches on Friday 26th April. This was confirmed as early as October during the Xbox Partner Preview stream.
What this means is that if you have a subscription to Xbox Game Pass, then you can play Manor Lords on the day of its release without buying the game. What a neat little thing the Xbox Game Pass is, eh?
Manor Lords download size
According to its Steam Store page, the Manor Lords download size on PC will be 16 GB, which also makes it very manageable on Steam Deck (although the controls may be a slightly different story).
The actual size of the game once installed is even lower – around 12 GB, give or take. Considering its beauty, that really isn’t much space at all that you’ll need to free up on your PC in order to start playing Manor Lords!
