Re4 remake didn’t have a preload so no surprises if this doesn’t

31st on the consoles, no official announcement on the PC, but there will likely be one considering they had preloads for the betas.

Depending on how fast your internet is, it may be faster to just download it at launch than preload and wait for Steam to decrypt it, though.

The beta wasn’t a preload. They merely released the client before servers were live meaning you’d just get an error message loading it before the beta date.

A preload is encrypted, you wouldn’t have been able to load the beta at all prior to the date if that was the case

was wondering the same thing. Hope they have one.

“It wasn’t a preload, they merely allowed you to download it before you could access it”.

Lol, you’re a riot.

Why have you quoted something I didn’t say

The beta wasn’t a preload. Nothing was encrypted, nothing required encryption keys to unlock

I dunno man, you could pre-emptively load it onto your computer and pretty much the entire internet was calling it a pre-load, which is clearly was.

I think you’re just stumbling over yourself as part of this “this game is terrible and I am a grumpy user who will be down on it at every possible opportunity in every thread I possibly can” thing you’ve got going on.

The fact that Capcom have a history, with this game of letting people obtain the download before it can be accessed, and have already announced the console preload means there’s a good chance there’ll be one on Steam as well.

okay ignoring you going off tangent here the beta was not a preload

the beta was a normal download, once downloaded you could load it at anytime but if you loaded it outside of the beta date you get a en error message saying fail to connect to server, you would still load up the game and get a splash screen

a preload can't be run as it is encrypted, you try running a preload you'll get a message saying the game is not released yet, it's not going to work until the encryption keys are released and downloaded and unpacked

saying the beta is a 'preload' is straight up misinformation because it never was, there is a significant difference here. When you say SF6 will get a preload because the beta got a preload that is just false.

Capcom have not done a preload since RE village demo which got cracked through a time exploit so Capcom haven't done a PC preload since, so don't expect one for SF6

The Closed Beta had a pre-load. How do I know? I was there.

Like, whatever man - you could load it onto your computer ahead of the date you could use it.
