How do I read the first element in an array when the array is a property of an object?

I’m using IGDB’s API to get a release date for each game that is found from a search, but most games have numerous release dates, so those are all stored in an array, and that array is an object property. When I make a general API request, here is how the data is formatted:

[
    {
        "id": 5440,
        "name": "Kirby Triple Deluxe",
        "release_dates": [
            {
                "id": 16596,
                "human": "Jan 11, 2014"
            },
            {
                "id": 16598,
                "human": "May 16, 2014"
            },
            {
                "id": 250078,
                "human": "May 01, 2014"
            }
        ]
    }
]

Here is the code I used to log the entire release_dates array:

const collections = response.data;
collections.forEach(collection => {
  console.log(collection.name);
  console.log(collection.release_dates);
});

How can I read just the first element in the array? I want to view the "human" property of the first element. One thing I tried was collection.release_dates[0].human but that did not work.

EDIT: To give a bit more clarity: the error I get when I try console.log(collection.release_dates[0].human); within the forEach loop is this: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')

Following up on others answers, here is one where you can also rely on fallback.

collections.forEach(collection => {
  const releaseDate = collection?.release_dates?.[0] ?? 'No release date.'
});

?? is called nullish coalescing operator. Even if release_dates[0] could be undefined, you can reliably fallback on "No release date." string.
