As of the September 12, 2026 US storefront checks, the Battle.net Shop lists three one-time digital World of Warcraft: Forever upgrades. The Blizzard Gear Store lists a physical Collector's Edition for pre-order. Forever launches November 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. PST. A WoW Subscription or Game Time grants access at launch. This is the dated price report; the WoW Forever editions guide is the evergreen reference for comparing editions.
Non-US prices: Not announced in the sources checked here. A separate Forever subscription or Game Time price: Not announced. Epic and Collection include 30 days of Game Time.
The three Battle.net products are one-time digital upgrades. They add the listed benefits to an account and do not replace the separate subscription or Game Time requirement for ongoing play. Included in-game items are not available in WoW Classic. Modern WoW Housing decor requires Midnight, sold separately. The physical Collector's Edition's digital code is download-only and includes no disc. All digital content requires an internet connection, a Battle.net account, and the Battle.net desktop app. Blizzard's Collector's Edition announcement confirms that it contains a Warcraft Forever Collection code.
Access rules
Launch access. A WoW Subscription or Game Time grants access to Forever starting November 4. Epic and Collection add 30 days of Game Time at launch. After that time ends, Blizzard requires a subscription or additional Game Time. Heroic lists no included Game Time. The Game Time support article records the launch activation rule.
Beta access. Guaranteed beta access comes with the Skyborne Epic Pack, Warcraft Forever Collection, or physical Collector's Edition. Signing up alone does not guarantee access. Blizzard Support lists those paths.
Early Name Reservation. Any digital upgrade purchase includes the October 27 through November 3, 2026, PST window. It applies only to the WoW account that made the purchase, allows up to three characters, is first-come, first-served, and does not guarantee a desired name. Battle.net's product requirements and Blizzard's pre-purchase announcement provide the terms.
Invite-A-Friend codes. Heroic grants one code. Epic, Collection, and the Collector's Edition code grant three total. The codes begin arriving by email October 20, 2026, PST, and grant invited accounts Forever access from November 4 through November 11, 2026, PST without a subscription or Game Time. They do not grant Game Time, the Skyborne race, or the Zephras Isle starting experience. Gift purchases are not eligible, and an account that already bought a Forever upgrade cannot redeem one. Blizzard Support lists the restrictions.
Two first-party conflicts
The Battle.net listing and Blizzard's pre-purchase article call the Collection's RTS entitlement Warcraft III: Reforged and the Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom campaign. The official Collection trailer description says "Warcraft II Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom". That wording conflict remains unresolved, so this article follows the product page and announcement for the listed entitlement.
The product page and pre-purchase text say the beta is available through October 21, 2026, PST. The official @Warcraft roadmap image says October 22. Blizzard has not resolved the one-day difference; the WoW Forever beta reference keeps both dates visible.
