Pre-load help
- Pre-load opened November 10 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Find the game in your library and start the download now, not on launch night.
- If the download stalls: pause it, wait ten seconds, resume. Most stalls are connection hiccups.
- If it fails at the same percentage every time, free up storage - the game needs room to unpack, not just to download.
- Xbox One? You play through Xbox Cloud Gaming from 1:00 AM Eastern on November 19.
- Full walkthrough in our pre-load troubleshooting guide, and help in Launch Central on the forum.
