FromSoftware’s latest and possibly greatest title yet, if the crazy Elden Ring overview trailer<\/a> is anything to go by, releases on 25th February 2022 on PC, PS4, PS5 as well as Xbox consoles. While owners of the latter system have been able to pre-load Elden Ring for roughly a week, those on PC and PS4 \/ PS5 can’t help but wonder when exactly they will be able to pre-load the highly-anticipated ARPG. On 22nd February, we learned exactly when PC and PlayStation gamers can start pre-loading Elden Ring.<\/p>\n

In this article, we tell you exactly when the Elden Ring pre-load option opens for those on PC via Steam, and on PlayStation consoles, alongside the expected download size. <\/p>\n

Let’s just get straight to the point here, PS4 and PS5 gamers can start the Elden Ring pre-load on 23rd February at midnight in their local time.<\/p>\n

For PC gamers via Steam, the Elden Ring pre-load date and time is a little more complicated. For example, for those in the US, pre-load opens up at 15:00 PT time on 22nd February, 17:00 CT time, or 18:00 CT time depending on where you live.<\/p>\n

Those in the UK can start pre-loading Elden Ring via Steam on 22nd February at 23:00 GMT.<\/p>\n

For those on PC, we expect the game’s download size to be roughly the same. On PS5, thanks to that sweet compression, Elden Ring’s download size is 41.4 GB.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, it is not clear if this includes the Day One update<\/a> but it will likely be included in the download. Those who purchased a physical edition need to just download the update.<\/p>\n
