Office 2021, when will it be released?

The new version of the Office suite is supposed to be released in fall 2021, and now Microsoft has published the first preview version of Office 2021. Besides the online version Office 365/Microsoft 365, Microsoft still offers an offline alternative of its Office programs.

The most important Office programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint are always included. Depending on the version, Outlook, Access and Publisher are also added. Office LTSC is an offer aimed at larger companies.


Office LTSC must be purchased per device, but the license does not need to be renewed after purchase. At launch, Microsoft will increase the prices for Office Professional Plus, Office Standard and the associated apps by ten percent. Microsoft also holds out the prospect that another stand-alone version without a subscription will be released after Office LTSC.
