Common questions on Paralives, surfaced from across the indexed web.

When is the Paralives launch time?

Paralives launches in early access at 10 am Eastern on May 25, 2026. It will be available on Steam for $40. Lucky for those in the US and UK, that's a day off for many of us, so you've got a whole day to drain in character creation.Here's the Paralives launch time in other time zones around the world: 7 am PDT (Los Angeles)10 am EDT (New York)3 pm BST (London)4 pm CEST (Berlin)12 am May 26 AEST (Sydney)2 am May 26 NZST (Auckland)

Paralives launch times and release date
Is there preloading for Paralives?

There does not appear to be preloading available for Paralives, so you'll have to download it after purchasing on launch day. The system specs list a required 8GB of storage space, which wound up being a 7.62GB installation size on my machine. So the good news is, it's not a huge honking game that will take you hours to download.

Paralives launch times and release date
What Is the Max Skill Level in Paralives?

Currently, each skill in the game can be leveled up to 20. This is during the early access period, however, and so it's unclear if this will be raised as part of a future update before or at the full 1.0 release of the game. As soon as we have any further information on this, we'll update this post and let you know.
