Office 2021 Release Date Announced

The next iteration of Microsoft’s productivity software for consumers, Office 2021, is scheduled for release on October 5th. This launch date coincides with the debut of Windows 11.

Similar to its predecessor, Office 2019, Office 2021 will be offered as a one-time purchase option. It will be accessible to users of both Windows and macOS operating systems.

Aimed at Non-Subscription Users

This release caters to individuals who prefer not to utilize Microsoft’s Microsoft 365 subscription service. It provides a perpetual license for those seeking a standalone software package.

Features and Improvements

While Microsoft has indicated further details will be forthcoming, information obtained by Tom Warren of The Verge reveals that Office 2021 will incorporate many of the enhancements present in Office LTSC.

Office LTSC is a version of the software designed for enterprise clients with limited cloud access. Key improvements include enhanced accessibility features and the addition of dark mode support.

Long-Term Support and Compatibility

Microsoft has previously confirmed a commitment to supporting the software for a minimum of five years. The software is designed to function seamlessly with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems without requiring additional configuration.
