So if I were to preorder on steam right now would I be able to predownload fallout 4 at this moment?

Yes. I recommend buying it from Green Man Gaming for 20% off though.. The keys are out there too

Cool wanna be able to play asap lol.

Preload went live yesterday I think? It sits there, complete. Taunting me...

What confuses me:

Available: 10 November

This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 21 hours

and

Release Date: 9 Nov, 2015

It releases at 12:01 a.m. EST for everyone in North America. If you're in a time zone further west than the East Coast, then you're getting the game on the ninth. I believe New Zealand and certain other places are also getting it on the ninth.

I see, thanks man.

I've clicked the startup link a couple times in the hopes that somebody accidentally made the game go live.

On the bright side, it does go live in about 50 hours and 27 minutes.

Steam just added a file to my pre-load, which I had completed Friday. Now it's up to an even 24 GB.

Don't forget about that driver update from nvidia.

Yep

Just did it, preloading now

Yeah, I pre-purchased the game 2 days ago through Steam, I did not know about the deal at GMG. But anyway I have the game preloaded and ready to go for the 10th.

Steam releasedate: 09. nov 2015
With the original releasedate being tuesday the 10th.
So let's just guess the releasedate is
12:01 am EST at 10. nov 2015.

Would make the game playable for me at 6 am on tuesday (the 10th).
Atleast after asking this guy: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

Question now is: is the old releasedate still up to date or will they release tomorrow (monday the 9th) as written by Steam?
