Though some video games have started offering early access to the title as part of the pre-order deal, God of War: Ragnarok is not one of them — meaning you'll have to wait until the title officially launches before you'll be able to get access to it.

Basically, the only way to get "early" access to the game is to live in one of the time zones behind EST, as everyone else in the U.S. who is not on the East Coast will be able to play the game sometime in the evening of Nov. 8 — though no one will have access before anyone else.
There are some players out there who claim they've already seen the game and have started playing through it, but unless you have access to someone who has an early copy or you received one as a reviewer, there is not a way to play the game early.
God of War: Ragnarok will release for the PS4 and PS5 on Nov. 9.
