9 PM UTC.
GMG keys are going out now.
All information from GMG.

Hell. Yes.

We're almost there. Not much longer now.

Guess My Pre-Order tipped the boat. I Pre-ordered last night...

Got the season pass email, not the game one yet.

11 AM here and my package hasn't shipped yet via Amazon. Not sure what their plans are...

THANX!!!! Just got my FO4 steam key from Greenmangaming and activated it successfully!

Got my game key from the GMG site and activated it as well, just need pre load now.

Same for me.

Log into your GMG account and go to your games.

For me, both activation codes were displayed, and more importantly, Steam accepted them.

I am all activated - and charged up!

Yeah thanks, that's what i did

Argh.. Still waiting for my keys from Funstock digital.. Never ordered from there before but I couldn't resist the discount... fallout 4 + season pass for 45 pounds.

They better give it out atleast one day before rellease so I can preload

Bethesda, I solute you for your wise decision at giving us a few days to preload a freakin 30gig game! If you were before me, I'd give all 100 somethin of yall a kiss on on the lips.

I didn't get my email, I just checked my account on GMG and there it was.

I haven't gotten my GMG Fallout 4 key yet... I have gotten my season pass. I'll wait a few hours and see if they update.

That's where i got my game key as well.

Got my key!

Got my Keys aswell. Now just Steam needs to enable the preload .

Anyway maybe/hopefully Bethesda/Steam will re-set the official release date, due the fact it can be bought at the stores right now (germany).

All we PC dudes/gals are doing is waiting for the unlock for no reason .

Well that's some good info, come 9pm I shall be frenetically refreshing steam to clobber that preload button!

I hope the downloads aren't going to be throttled because of all the peeps who are going to be doing the same thing though......watch this space I guess.

Still no options to pre-load without a key ?( Iordered a hard copy dvd for pc)

Note that 9PM is UTC. For me, in PST, that is about 2 hours from now at 1 PM.

I'll be going through the asset folders straight away and start reading through files

So is the Steam early download limited to those who purchased through Greenmangaming?

I won't be able to actually play* before sunday in any case.

But having it saved on my drive and having it runnable at any time is a calming thought.

Also before I even think about playing, I need to fiddle with the options/graphics.

My system is between recommended and minimum . Wich means around 60 minutes options fiddling till it's meeting my taste and possibilities.

Like I am no fan of motion blur nor depth of field.

*play: dive into the game, enjoying the storyline, world and such

Not unless you know how to break Steam encryption. The files don't get decrypted into the proper folders until the game releases.

Anyone who owns the game on their Steam account (whether purchased directly from Steam or from a reseller like GMG if they've sent the key) will be able to pre-load the game once pre-load becomes available. Retail purchasers won't be able to do anything until they have their copy, which will include a Steam key in the box.

If you have your retail key, you could choose to download the Steam pre-load. I don't know what happens if you try to do the disc install prior to release--maybe it will download the rest from Steam and keep it locked until release like the pre-load, or maybe it won't do anything before the release date.

Thanks for the response.

Since I purchased my Fallout 4 from Steam, I should be able to start the "pre-load" in about 77 minutes . . . . . . . . .

can someone help me please im not sure about time

i live in thailand so
