Call Of Duty: WWII Preload Begins On Xbox, PS4 Preload Window Revealed

Call Of Duty: WWII preloading began Sunday afternoon on Xbox One, and PS4 owners have been left wondering when the 45 GB download will be delivered to their consoles. According to new screenshots shared by the CharlieINTEL Twitter account, we have a pretty good idea.

European user @ItIsBeezo recently took a screenshot of his PlayStation Store page, and as seen below, the blurb of text below the video ad clearly states “download from Oct. 27 and play from midnight Nov. 3.” In other words, at least in Europe, PS4 preloading for Call Of Duty: WWII begins Oct. 27.

Does that mean it will start the same day in North America as well? Not necessarily. Historically, there have been slight variations in preload dates between regions. For example, last year, Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare started preloading Oct. 27 in Europe and began in the U.S. between Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. In that sense, we only have a solid window of when the pre-order downloads will start being delivered to early investors. An exact date will likely be known soon, and we’ll let you know when it becomes available.

Call Of Duty: WWII finished active development earlier this month, so it makes sense for preloads to start around this time. As live action trailers pour in from Activision to hype up the game’s impending release, eager players are looking forward to hopping into the online multiplayer or single-player campaign as soon as possible.

As far as incentives are concerned, unless you’re buying some kind of special edition, there’s no major reason beyond preloading to pre-purchase the game at this time. After all, the Private Beta has concluded across PS4, Xbox One and PC, so there’s little reward to be had in terms of early access. While there are a few odd trinkets like CoD Point bonuses and weapon skins for Nazi Zombies, those perks are pretty pointless compared to what was on offer a few months back.

For those who simply can’t wait for their preload to unlock, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the recent onslaught of leaks unearthed by PC data miners. To date we’ve learned everything about Zombies weapons, multiplayer maps and even the basics of ranked play. That being said, aside from concrete plot details, there’s almost nothing about this game we don’t already know.

Call Of Duty: WWII was first revealed back in April, and it's been a high-profile release for the 2017 calendar year ever since. In fact, a recent Nielsen poll suggests WWII is the most-anticipated holiday title, followed closely by Assassin’s Creed Origins and Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Call Of Duty: WWII comes to PS4, Xbox One and PC Nov. 3.
