Is this going to be available in Australia on the 17th?

I've been waiting for this game for a while but I can't find anything about it on the XB1 store. I tried the search feature like other people have done to find it but nothing shows up. I'm going to be very unhappy if this is yet another game that we don't get. I have ARK:SE game preview version and have put over 600 hours into it so far and was hoping to do the same with this.

    OK I just checked the admin panel and am trying to push it to Australia/New Zealand as well.

    I can't remember if we didn't do this before because of a ratings issue or not. Let's hope that's not a problem.

    Thank you for your quick response. Australia has missed out on a lot of games lately and I was starting to think this would be the same. I hope you are able to get this released here because it really looks like a great game. Can't wait.

    I was also excited to grab this game today after reading all the news stories on gaming sites about this coming to xbox preview, only to be disappointed that Australia seems to have been left out....

    Please do let me know when/if you see it in Australia/New Zealand. I've updated the availability but I'm not sure if it worked or not.

    Go into settings on your XB1 and change the region to United States and restart the console. Then go to the store and look under Game Preview. I did that so I could try it and the hour flew by. Took me a bit to figure how what to do but by the end of the hour I had a pretty good little base.

    Cheers, this worked, installing now. But cant help think that a one hour trial with no legit purchase option at the end is going to feel alittle like salt in the wound

    Can anyone in Australia see it without searching yet?

    We're still trying to fix this, but I can never test to find out if it's working (being in Italy).

    Im in Melbourne and it's not showing up here yet, but sometimes things seem to appear in sydney first and take a while to show up here for some reason, so I'll keep an eye out for the next couple of hours and post again if it pops up.

    If you change region and get the trial from the US store you can then go to the game hub and check to see if it's on the store that way. Saves having to search for it and you can play the trial while you're waiting.

    It should be available in Aus/NZ in 12-18 hours. I'm not sure because of time zones, but it should be arriving shortly!
