Pre-load / Release Date

Heya,

As you can see below, the game releases on the same date and time of the pre-load (and subsequently the early access). Would be nice to have some sort of early pre-loading the game as half the community are going to be downloading it the moment it becomes available to do so.

Your thoughts? 

  • Hello @rouvio

    I guess this is not Updated yet. On PlayStation, we are able to pre-download games 48Hours before it release. 🙂

    It was also same with BFV so my guess is that it will be Updated so people can pre-download it.

  • People who get the gold or the ultimate get it a week earlier than that as well don't they? I hope they figure it out before it's too close to release. I have shiternet myself so it takes forever to download anything, but I can play just fine without any lag.

    @TankerFlankerThe game will be released on October 22nd, this screenshot is of the Ultimate version I pre-ordered when it became available to do so. I wonder how many hours will be lost to early players due to heavy network congestion.

    @rouvio Yeah I got the same on PS5 the Ultimate, I hope you and I and everyone else can end up preloading a few days before the initial early release.

  • IM sure its not going to be a problem. if you have good internet you should be fine.

    See you on the battlefield

    @GeneralGrievous7 

    Have you recently pre-loaded a highly anticipated game on pre-load day?

    Things are almost never smooth brother. There will be delays.. there will be slow-down-to-a-crawl download speeds, download servers will crash.. Pre loading is exactly that - pre loading the game so players will avoid the traffic and not get super slow speeds downloading the content. 

    I fail to see the point of opening the pre-load the very moment the game servers open and/or the game becomes available. Enlighten me.
