Will there be a preload option for Steam?

Post » Tue Dec 01, 2015 7:01 pm

So the game is around 30GB and some people (not myself) don't have the best of internet speed so it might take them awhile to download and install before they can start playing. I haven't heard anything about there being a preload option yet but there are some big games like this in the past that haven't had a preload option so it was a bit annoying. So if it's like GTA V where we could preload, I think that would be great. :)

at least in Brazilian Steam, its already a option. Same for season pass.

edit: oh sorry, my mistake. Preload and not preorder.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't. Almost every game does it (MGSV was the only recent exception that I'm aware of).

It'll take me 4 or 5 hours to download it, so it would be nice to get that out of the way before release day.

There usually is a preload option for really anticipated games like this.

I won't be able to make use of it though as I have the Pipboy Edition preordered and will have to wait until I recieve it before I can start my download.

It should only take me around an hour to download the game though so it's not a big deal for me.

I would hope so. I've never done a preorder or preload before but I might for this game. The size of it would take me about 24 hours to download so that's my reason for possibly doing a preorder for the first time.

Was there one for Skyrim? I don't remember. Regardless, that's most likely the case for F4 too.

Can't see any reason why there won't be. There was one for Skyrim and New Vegas after all.
