Can you pre-load Dying Light 2?
If you want to start playing as soon as Dying Light 2 unlocks on your platform, you'll want to pre-load the game so that you don't need to worry about downloads sneaking into your playtime. Dying Light 2 pre-loads were available earlier this week on Xbox, and they're now live on every platform as of February 2nd, so those with preorders can start downloading right now.
To pre-load, head to the store page where you pre-ordered Dying Light 2 to find a download button. This will add the download to your queue.
Dying Light 2 download size
Dying Light 2’s download size is surprisingly small on consoles, so it shouldn't take up too much space on your hard drive. Those on PC can expect a slightly larger file size. You can see the download size for each system below:
- PlayStation: 30gb
- Xbox: 30gb
- PC: 60gb
It’s worth noting that these sizes do not include any day one patches, so the actual size could be larger at release. Dying Light 2 also has plenty of content planned for the coming months according to the Dying Light 2 post-launch roadmap, so expect that size to jump as new missions, challenges, and weapons are introduced. With 5 years of support planned, expect Dying Light 2 to grow a lot bigger over the next few years.
