Getting started

WoW Forever launch checklist: time, price, names, PC requirements

WoW Forever launches November 4, 2026 at 3 p.m. PST, midnight on November 5 in Paris. It is not free to play but comes with any WoW subscription or game time; Skyborne packs are optional. Pack owners reserve up to three names from October 27 (6 p.m. CET in Europe) to November 3. The beta closed on October 23 with no carry-over, and the minimum PC needs a 4 GB DirectX 12 card and 128 GB of SSD space.

Auction house prices, scanned in game

Forever has no public auction house interface, so we built one: the prices come from auction house scans made in game and shared with the site, so far the site's own scans of the beta. Every item gets its page with its price on each auction house; its history fills in as new scans arrive.
