When Can You Preload Dying Light 2?
If you preorder Dying Light 2 digitally from Steam, the Xbox or PlayStation Stores, you’ll be able to preload the game closer to release date. Exactly when preload will begin hasn’t been released just yet, however, we can take some guesses.
PlayStation preloading normally goes up two days before the release date, so PS4 and PS5 owners will likely be able to preload from December 5.
Xbox owners will be able to preload as of November 30/ Dec. 1, as preload for games tends to begin a week ahead of release.
Finally, it remains unclear whether or not Dying Light 2 will have a preload period on PC, but we’ll update this post and let you know once we have more information.
