Re: Pre-load Apex on Steam(early download)

@BaldWraithSimp never preload any games before, so does this mean you still have to wait until S7 launch to play through steam? and if you do, do you have to update again once S7 released even though you already preloaded it?

    @bosourdYeah, the game won't launch until it's official release time and if you try to launch it, you will get a prompt saying 'game is locked and blah blah'. I don't think you need any extra download, because it already has the S7 files(hence it's locked)

    Btw I have never pre-loaded before, but that's how preloading works.

    @bosourd I did some more research further, looks like there will be a small patch(like the small patches for bugs etc) probs <50 Mb. And your game will take some time to decrypt the files but I couldn't find how much time exactly.

    @BaldWraithSimp  Rather jealous!

    The update doesn't drop until 8pm for me, and I'll be up at 5am for work so I won't actually get to play the game until late Thursday. ☹️
