Lost Ark is set to be released to the public via Steam in a free-to play title on the 11th of February. You can pre-load the game on Steam starting now (its download size checks in around 70 GB) however, unless you're interested in purchasing the Founder's Pack between now and then, you will need wait for the game to be completely unlocked before you'll be able to launch it.

As for the release time well it's complicated. Ideally, the free-to-play version Lost Ark will be available for download on February 11. Lost Ark will launch via Steam on February 11 at the following dates:

The reason why I'm saying "ideally" with regard to the launch date of Lost Ark's free-to-play game is that we already saw players struggle to get into Lost Ark in time for the exact date of its Early Access debut.

With congested servers as well as a handful of technical issues, a lot of gamers were waiting at least a little longer before they could actually play the MMO. Since the game is open to a larger number of players on Friday, it's possible that you'll have be dealing with similar issues with servers during that time.

What is the case with other platforms? Well, developer Smilegate as well as Lost Ark's Western publisher Amazon Games haven't shared any plans for porting the game to Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Epic Games. Epic Games store, but considering that the game has a limited controller support through Steam it's reasonable to believe that it might in the near future be released to a wider range of players.
