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.
