Prepare in order

  1. Confirm the full-game product, platform and account region.
  2. For a boxed code, wait for delivery and redeem it on the correct account.
  3. Check the verified preload window and available console storage.
  4. Use your own file-size scenario in the calculator; official storage requirement: Unknown.
  5. Check the publisher status before launch; completing a download does not grant early play.

Before launch

Your first-launch checklist

Saved only in this browser. No account required.

Storage requirement: Unknown. Wait for an official announcement.

What to know

First establish whether your selected product includes the full game and whether its preload rule is verified. A fast connection cannot create preload eligibility. The result card separates unavailable products, add-ons and unknown rules, and shows the check date for the selected platform and medium.

Digital and boxed-code preparation

Digital ownership and a box containing a download code are different delivery paths. For a code, you need the package and a successful redemption before a download can be available. Shipping or pickup expectations are not a guaranteed arrival date. A disc label, code region and account-country restriction must come from the specific product's verified rule.

Plan storage and time separately

The official storage requirement remains Unknown unless checked evidence supplies it. A calculator scenario is not the space you must reserve. Use the preparation list to review ownership, account, connection and free space, and recheck official download information when it becomes available.

Calendar limitations

A preload event is generated only for a verified applicable rule. Derived local-midnight times are labelled with their basis and time zone. An add-on or unavailable full-game combination does not create a fictional installation event. Re-download your calendar if official facts change.

Frequently asked questions

Can I preload every edition and medium?

No. Check the selected product's availability and role. An upgrade is not a full game, and a boxed code must first arrive and be redeemed.

Does a Code in Box product contain a disc?

Consult the checked product note above. When it says no disc, the code supplies the download entitlement; the package itself cannot start a download.

Is the official storage requirement known?

The preparation checklist keeps it Unknown until verified. File sizes entered into the download calculator are separate planning scenarios.

Does local midnight mean every store unlocks the game then?

No. A verified local-midnight preload rule concerns downloading. The release time is a separate fact checked per platform and store.

Will this preparation checklist track game completion?

No. This list records launch preparation in your browser. The separate 100% checklist will track verified in-game entries after requirements can be checked.

Why is a value Unknown?

Unknown means no verified value is available for your exact selection. Blocked verification, not reviewed, no listed amount and unavailable products remain separate.
