When Is The Warzone 2 Preload?
The Warzone 2 preload can be started on November 14, which is two days before the game is set to release, giving players a decent amount of time to download it before launch. You can start preloading at 6 pm GMT (10 am PST/1 pm EST/8 pm CEST), with all times being exactly 48 hours before the launch.
As Warzone 2 is free, players won't need access to Modern Warfare 2, but they will have to download some of the assets from that game during the Warzone 2 download. The full size is expected to be 115GB at launch, which is a little less than the original Warzone. However, it's likely that as new updates and seasons roll in over the course of the next few years, it will balloon up in size even more.
Warzone 2 will be available on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, through the Battle.net and Steam storefronts. The game can be preloaded on all platforms.
