As a master Tier Subscriber. and having pre ordered all of the Core Books. today is the 3rd of September. I should have early access to the PHB2024. anyone have any idea where that actually is accessed?
Not quite yet, books go live based on the timezone of the D&D Beyond team. They need to come into the office, get started, and begin the release process. This release process involves site maintenance, with the books in theory going live shortly after that.
It has always been the case that books go live based on D&D Beyond office hours.
Player’s Handbook (2024) (Pre-order) Early access: 03 September 2024 12:15 UTC
So, by my reckoning then if that is correct given I am in British Summer Time currently (BST) that means it should unlock circa 13.15 here in the UK IF the information listed under the 'licenses' section of my account is correct. Its entirely possible (if not likely) that Davyd is correct and it won't go live until later.

I am correct given that 12:15 UTC is 15 minutes into the 4 hour site maintenance during which time the site will be inaccessible.
When will the physical copies of the 2024 PhB begin to ship? I believe 17-Sep is the listed date, but I am hoping they begin shipping sooner. Will we get a tracking number?
So yeah, I got the phb 2024 under sources but only the free rules for 2024 are showing up on the character builder. Did i miss something? I thought we would be able to use it right away.
I'm able to see the new rules in the character builder. I turned off all the other book options (legacy, homebrew, etc) and if I choose a class, set it level 3, I can see the new subclasses. Just checked the Barbarian, Druid, Rogue, and Wizard...all were there. I'm also seeing the updated backgrounds and species. Maybe it just hasn't turned on for you yet?
I'm a Master subscriber (for the next month) and have the book pre-ordered and I can see the table of contents, but when I click on any link it's asking me to buy it again.
Nevermind. I'm an idiot that forgot I needed to activate the key and redeem the product.
If you bought the book but can access only the free rules from 2024 in the character creator, try logging out and logging back in. That fixed it for me.
it's there you might just have to sync your account. you can do it from the account section
Thank you, I didn't exactly understand what to do once I followed the link, but then i signed out and signed back in, and that seems to have helped. (finger's crossed). Before doing that, I wasn't able to use links to any of the content that is exclusive to the 2024 PHB (ie not in the basic rules) - is that some version of the same problem others were having?
I can acces the book via sources via the webbrowser. Character creator only shows 2024 basic rules and legacy content. beyond app phb 2024 not available at all
Not sure if it was a coincidence and wotc fixed it or i managed to find a workaround to get it fixed.
What i did. create a new campaign. Enable content sharing. Disabled everything, and manually enable the phb 2024.
Go to character creation and now phb 2024 content is showing up. Also in the dnd beyond app. Could be completely coincidental since after deleting the campaign it's still working. but worth a try if the content is not showing up yet for someone

I KNEW forums would be the way to go!!!

The site maintenance is due for 5am to 9am pacific time so hopefully the new book should be up after that

The updated PHB is now available for me (1:20pm CST). If I go into sources > view all sources the book is there.

Exactly…. “Early access” means we get the actual PHB 2024… I’m just seeing rules… am I missing something?
it's there you might just have to sync your account. you can do it from the account section

It’s also not showing up for me in the companion app but when I view my content in the web browser the book is available to me.
I'm having the same. I'd much prefer viewing in the app but doesn't seem to be there yet. It is on the browser site though
Is anyone able to access it now?I'm a Master subscriber (for the next month) and have the book pre-ordered and I can see the table of contents, but when I click on any link it's asking me to buy it again.Nevermind. I'm an idiot that forgot I needed to activate the key and redeem the product.

I still don’t see it in the dndbeyond app iPhone, only online. I see only free rules. Character creation only showing the free stuff too
Same here,
I can acces the book via sources via the webbrowser.
Character creator only shows 2024 basic rules and legacy content.
beyond app phb 2024 not available at all
