He delved into the reasons for the decision, explaining that it stems from Paradox&#8217;s need to &#8220;continue improving&#8221; the game and ensuring it&#8217;s ready to be played, even in early access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are moving the start of early access for Life By You to March 5, 2024,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The feedback we&#8217;ve received [since revealing four months ago] has been really great and invaluable.
