Epic Games Store Adds Preloading for PC Games

[chainsniff]

The Epic Games Store now allows preloading of pre-purchased games up to five days before launch. Players can download titles early, ensuring they can play immediately at release. Developers can enable this via Epic’s Self-Publishing Tools or by contacting their Account Manager. This feature comes years after other stores like Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox implemented similar functionality.

Finally! Preloading was one major feature Epic needed to catch up with Steam.

This update makes the Epic Games Store experience so much smoother. Long overdue.
