Can I shut down my pc while downloading???
Hey everybody I'm kinda new here. I just purchased a game without even thinking about download time that it's literally going to take all night. IS it ok if I shut down my pc or put it in sleep mode? Thank you!

if you turn off your pc or it goes into sleep mode it will pause the download.

In downloads, you can choose to pause it and continue later. I have to do that with most of the games I buy.
