Never pre-ordered a game so that's why I'm asking.

But I will have to download the first day patch (They say it's around 50GBs) on release anyways right?

While this is probably the case with consoles it is not for PC. The consoles have disks with a set version of the game on it that has to be updated to the current version when the game releases. With PC the version only has to be decided a short while before the preload date because nothing has to be manufactured. I have seen like 10GB download before for a preload unpacking, though it was a couple of years ago. I doubt we will have to download 50GB but I guess it is possible, expect to download anywhere from 2-25GB in my opinion but that is soley based on my own ideas and I have no sources.

Didn't Fallout 4 had like a 40GB patch on its first day? Could only be a console thing as you mentioned. I guess tomorrow we will find out the size of the patch.

Yes, you can download a pre-load on purchase, but yes, you'll need to download the patch on day one. Even if you don't have to, why in the world wouldn't you download the patch? Supposed to be around 40GB.

How can you download this now? I just purchased it, but it doesnt show on my library, and there is no install button at the store page, just "gift to a friend".
