It will be possible to pre-download the game before the official release date...apparently there is 145 GB of data available for download ?!!

thanks

Ahh I really hope so, that's a 10hr download for me!

and don't forget that this is Unreal engine, so every update to major update you will have to DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE GAME AGAIN, good luck.

I might wait a few days before I download because it seems the game is going to need some heavy patching. The early reports are that it's very buggy in deed.

And, I bet the files that are on GoG for download are old as it is. The game might have had 10 patches since.
