Preload?
My download is still stuck in "game not released yet" state. I thought there was a preload prior to launch? Everything I've seen says March 17th at 4pm UTC.

Everything you have seen is wrong then, the game comes out tomorrow (20/03), at ~4am Europe. It is out in Canada at 12:00am(sic)

It has pre-installed for me.

That is the preload about. It download the game files that are mostly encrypted then stop and wait until the release date before it becomes playable.

I know what preload means, folks. It allows you to download the game but not play it until it's officially released. Plenty of articles online with graphics from Ubisoft that say the Preload (upper right corner of those images) that say the Preload time is as I stated in the original post.

why is it showing different sizes though, yesterday my download on the Deck was 90.2Gb, a mate of mine in the UK showed 218.9Gb and when I opened it just now, it's saying 220.9Gb on my PC - color me confused.

Yes, I'm seeing the same thing. I saw a screenshot for PS5 where the download size is about 102GB.
