Oops! Square-Enix uploaded a trailer last week showing a PC release date of March 10, 2017, then immediately replaced with the same trailer sans release date. Turns out it was due to incorrect information, possibly confused for the European release date of March 10. In any case, it will officially release for PC worldwide on March 17, 2017.

Buying on day one will entitle you to some skins for 2B and her pet robot, including the “Valve Character Accessory,” which is literally a Valve sticking out of her blindfolded eye (pre-order exclusive). More may still be coming, as the Tweet detailing the Day One bonuses says “Pre-purchase details to come tomorrow!”
