Hogwarts Legacy Steam Preload: A Welcome Surprise for Anticipated Fans

The wait is almost over for fans of Hogwarts Legacy, as the game's release date approaches rapidly. Especially since it's one of the most anticipated games of the year, having to wait for this data to download at launch would be annoying. Fortunately, those who purchased the Deluxe Edition will be able to launch the game 72 hours earlier, which is today at 19:00.

The preload option has been added to Steam, allowing fans to start downloading the game files. This is a welcome surprise, as it means that players won't have to waste time downloading almost 100 GB of data on release day. For those who pre-ordered the game, they can now start enjoying the Hogwarts Legacy experience.

In related news, WB Games recently changed its mind and decided to provide a preload option for the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy. This is no less than a week before the launch, giving fans more than enough time to prepare for the game's release on February 10.

However, it's worth noting that there has been no update yet on when Hogwarts Legacy will be available for pre-load on PlayStation 5, although it should be ready 72 hours before the game's launch to line up with the Deluxe Edition's early access. In contrast, The Last of Us: Part I will be available to preload as early as August 26.

Overall, the addition of a preload option is a major win for fans of Hogwarts Legacy, and we can't wait to dive into the world of magic and adventure that awaits us on February 10.
