JGD85: I really hope there is. I don't want to spend most of release day downloading it. Makes me cringe thinking of the plebs playing it before me.
hfm: Thought I don't care who's playing it before me, I was also wondering if there would be a pre-load. In all my time using GOG/Galaxy I can't recall if they've ever done any preloading. As long as the CDN doesn't buckle under the pressure and I can get close to my dl bandwidth I'm ok with there not being a preload.
That last part was kind of a joke, maybe. No one was responding so I decided to entertain myself.
Razor_Reaperr: Would be great if they could add the option. It would be a big help for those whom have sluggish internet connection. My guess is that GOG would get the game files first to Steam since its directly from CDPR. It would not make sense if Steam is able to preload but GOG doesn't.
Yea like me. Maybe if I start D/Ling it early enough I can finish it by late afternoon, but I'd prefer to have it pre-loaded so it's ready to go on launch day.
