Player Housing is officially making its debut in World of Warcraft on December 2. This eagerly awaited feature will be available to fans who have pre-purchased World of Warcraft: Midnight before year’s end.

The Midnight expansion for World of Warcraft introduces an extensive array of content for the acclaimed MMO, including the Haranir Allied Race, Devourer Demon Hunter specialization, and an updated version of Quel’Thalas and Zul’Aman. However, the introduction of Player Housing is one of the most exciting elements of this rollout, allowing players to create customized bases of operations.

World of Warcraft Player Housing Early Access Release Date

• December 2, 2025

Now, players are aware of when to expect Housing. During the alpha for World of Warcraft: Midnight, Blizzard shared crucial information regarding the expansion along with Housing details. The significant takeaway was locking down December 2 as the initial launch date for Housing, preceding its full launch as part of the Midnight expansion.

It’s noteworthy that this release will align with WoW’s weekly reset rather than a global launch, meaning that Player Housing may become available later in regions like the EU, where resets occur a day after those in North America.

Additionally, December 2 falls precisely eight weeks after World of Warcraft Patch 11.2.5 on October 7, reflecting Blizzard’s historical release pattern. The early access for Housing will be part of the 11.2.7 update, confirming December 2 as the planned release date for this patch as well.

To access Player Housing, players must pre-purchase World of Warcraft: Midnight. The standard, Heroic, and Epic Editions all grant early access, and owning the expansion upon its release is necessary to utilize this feature. Meanwhile, players can still gather Housing décor for their future houses when they acquire Midnight. Thus, fans aiming to experience Player Housing at any point should prepare to secure the expansion.
