Two Point Museum release date, pre-order and latest news

With the game entering early access, there's no better time to see what Two Point Museum has in store.

That said, find everything there is to know about Two Point Museum, including its launch time and a closer look at all of the editions that are available.

Two Point Museum release date

Sega and Two Point Studios have confirmed that Two Point Museum will be released on Tuesday 4th March 2025.

The game was announced in August 2024, with pre-order details following in September. It's a very short turnaround from announcement to release, something quite unusual these days.

Those who purchase the Explorer Edition get five days of early access, which began on 27th February 2025.

When is the UK launch time for Two Point Museum?

The UK launch time for the Explorer of Two Point Museum was 5 pm GMT on 27th February 2025.

For the standard edition, the game launches on 4th March 2025 at 5pm GMT.

For American players, the servers switch on at 9am PST.

Can I pre-order Two Point Museum?

Two Point Museum is available for pre-order at a suggested retail price of £24.99 / $29.99 for both the standard physical and digital editions.

If you fancy getting a physical copy of the game, Amazon has Two Point Museum up for pre-order on PlayStation and Xbox. Those on PC can head to Steam to pre-order or alternatively on the Two Point Studios website.

Two Point Museum pre-order differences

There will be two different Two Point Museum editions available at launch: standard and Explorer.

The standard edition will include the base game itself and some Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog staff costumes for those who pre-order ahead of launch.

The Explorer Edition will feature a "selection of decorative items to embellish your halls, walls and floors with bespoke designs and well travelled statues".

On top of this, several "exclusive items to help your experts replenish faster to send out on more expeditions" will be included as well.

The biggest difference is that the digital Explorer edition will grant five days of early access.

Which consoles and platforms can play Two Point Museum?

Two Point Museum will be available across both consoles and PC with PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows platforms confirmed.

This does currently mean that Nintendo Switch owners are set to miss out at launch, though we have a good feeling that the game will arrive at a later date – or even potentially at the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Two Point Museum gameplay and story details

Two Point Museum is a business simulation game developed by Two Point Studios – known for Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus – and published by Sega.

Players will assume the role of a museum manager with the aim being to manage, design and refine the exhibits to create the best experience for guests.

A team of (partially) trained experts can be sent on Expeditions in search of rare artefacts, while each section of the museum can be tailored to your design.

This can be done by splashing some paint, laying down carpet or arranging the exhibits in an order of your choice.

Alongside dinosaurs, a haunted hotel and aquarium will feature.
