Pre Loading

@GrimReaperTaken 

The xBox preload has already started.

Use the xBox app on your phone or on your computer.

• Search for Mass Effect Legendary Edition
• Click Download to Console

Looks like that was fake or some people just got lucky.

My apologies!

The Xbox pre-load starts probably at the same time the PC and PS pre-load starts.

My XBL GT is IdahoGamerGirl and I am having trouble preloading the Xbox series x MS Store in app purchase for Mass Effect Legendary edition. I heard others were having same problems and I wanted to mention an error that may help fix it. I can’t fix it because it’s a dev issue, but I wanted to point it out to see if it helps. On the Manage Games and Addons page where you hit install to internal, when you press X for File info, you’ll notice the dates of purchase is different from the download and play dates. While it says I purchased it on 5/5/2021, it says it can be downloaded and played on 1/1/0001. Please let me know if this helps and if you were able to fix it. I want to preload it so I can play the moment it releases. I have a photo of the error but it contains personal information and I can share it when a EA Moderator DMs me.

I'm also unable to pre load ☹️

what an unecessarily complicated way of preloading. 

Also it failed. Sadly neither the phone or the pc were able to get the pre loading to work ☹️ @holger1405  Guess ill wait till launch day

I've no reason to believe there is an issue here.

Some people are reporting that pre-loads have started:

But as far as I know, these roll-out regionally on a staggered basis, so just because someone else has it doesn't mean you will.

Xbox pre-loading is normally automatic (unless disabled in settings) when the console periodically checks for updates. You can go into 'Manage' and check 'Updates' yourself to beat the automation process, but if it's not rolled-out yet where you live, then obviously it'll report as not yet available.

I don't believe trying to use the Xbox app or site to download gains you anything unless it was already lined up to pre-load anyway.

Either way, no-one can play it for a week, so whether the update drops today or in the next couple of days for you, there should be no problem here.

Not seeing it in UK either.

But no action until next Friday so either way no problem. I'm sure it will update over the coming days.

From what i can see via Origin PC you can start the download on 12 May at 6:00 PM EEST 

*sympathetic Australian noises*

The UK will OBVIOUSLY be last, have to wait till launch day. You cant expect pre loading luxuries when London is under attack by reapers 😉
