Pre Loading
So on PC i have seen that steam lets you pre install games sometimes and you just have to do the day 1 patch to play the game when it unlocks. I have not heard if this is a thing on Xbox because i've...

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.
@SofaJockeyUK Sad Australian noises... no preload yet ☹️ I want to do it so badly.
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
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 😉
There was a download there now but it's only 20.77 GB? 'confused'
