Your launch plan: Pre-load and sleep
Ready early, fresh in the morning. You get everything ready early and play once you have slept. The busy first hours pass while you are in bed, and the game is waiting when you wake up.
Your launch-week plan
- Start the pre-load on 12 November and leave automatic downloads on.
- Check for a game update in the morning before you start playing.
- If anything looks wrong, check the live status before changing any settings.

The groundwork every plan shares
Whatever your plan, the groundwork in our launch-day guide and launch checklist is the same. Before 12 November, install pending system updates and free up storage; the download size has not been announced, so leave generous room. On 12 November, start the pre-load, and if you bought a boxed copy, redeem the code first. Make the console your main PS5 (Console Sharing and Offline Play) or your Home Xbox. On launch day, check for a game update before you start playing and keep the console signed in with the account that bought the game.
What is announced, and what is not
- Announced: pre-load from 12 November 2026 for digital pre-orders and redeemed codes from boxed copies, and launch on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Not announced: an official unlock schedule, the download size and any day-one patch. Fan and press guides report local-midnight unlocks; treat those as unconfirmed.
- Worth knowing: boxed copies hold a download code, not a disc, so everyone downloads the full game.
