The exact date and time when Lost Ark pre-load opens up are 7th February at 17:00 UTC. This should give players enough time to pre-download the game so they are ready for launch.<\/p>\n

Lost Ark Head Start – Get early access<\/h2>\n

Lost Ark is a free-to-play title but if you don’t want to wait until 11th February 2022 to start playing, you can get early access by opening your wallet.<\/p>\n

To get Head Start access in Lost Ark, players will need to purchase the Founders Pack at roughly $15. Founder’s Packs will be available for purchase until the game launches on 11th February.<\/p>\n

Lost Ark pre-load file size<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, the exact pre-load file size for Lost Ark has not been revealed.<\/p>\n

We do, however, know that the Lost Ark PC system requirements<\/a> notes you will need 50 GB of free space, so we expect the game’s download size to be roughly the same, or a little less.<\/p>\n

So there you have it, a guide to pre-downloading Lost Ark, how you can get Head Start access, and the expected file size. Enjoy your adventure in the world of Arkesia!<\/p>\n
