Cyberpunk 2077 pre-load dates and unlock times revealed

Cyberpunk 2077 is coming in just a few days time and as the biggest game of the year, a lot of people are going to be looking to play on day-one. To make the download process smoother for everyone, pre-loading begins going live today on multiple platforms. We also know exact times the game unlocks on various platforms across the world. 

Starting today, pre-loading for the PC version of the game on GOG is available to pre-load. At 4PM this evening (GMT), those who pre-ordered the game on Steam of the Epic Games Store will also be able to begin pre-loading the game.

As for console players, pre-loading on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles is already live. PS4/PS5 owners should be able to pre-load the game starting from the 8th of December. All versions of the game will have a day-one patch though, so there will still be some downloading needed at release.

Now as for unlock times, the game has a simultaneous release scheduled for midnight (GMT) on PC and Stadia. Console owners will have the game unlocked as soon as it turns Midnight December 10th in their local time zone.

Cyberpunk 2077 is launching on the 10th of December, requiring 70GB of storage space on PC and 60GB on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Down the road, there will be multiple free DLCs and paid expansions, which will raise the storage requirements for the game over time.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
