Physical Pre-Orders
I pre-ordered the game a while back and have been wondering for some time if I'd be able to pick the game up early as a result? I've heard from a source that the earliest one can get it is on the 9th ...
@Lunaris_The_Wolf Hi, are you looking to get the game on PC? If you want to play ASAP on the 14th you would need a deluxe edition, and from what I can see the physical copies of the game are all standard editions which unlock on the 17th.
If you want to go for a digital copy instead you can pre-download then you should be able to play as soon as the game unlocks.
If you're playing on console, then your local retailer might be your best option, they should distribute deluxe editions from the 14th.
If you get a good delivery service in your area you may also consider an online physical purchase. I know this might not be useful for everyone - I've lived in rural areas before and had to wait far too long for "launch day" deliveries - but if you consistently get good delivery times you might check out the list of retailers below.

Thanks for the question, I hope this helps.
@Lunaris_The_Wolf No, all retailers should have the Deluxe PS4 Edition on the 14th.
But I'd double check that your chosen retailer will be able to get the game to you on the 14th, so that you're not disappointed by a delay. it's unlikely but I've heard enough stories where folks are stuck watching their friends play while they wait for a delivery. 🙂
