Publisher Bandai Namco and developer FromSoftware announced Elden Ring pre-loading is now available on Xbox consoles ahead of its launch next week.

While Elden Ring pre-loading is now available on Xbox consoles, the Series X|S version of the game clocks in at 50GB and the Xbox One version clocks in at 30GB, so make sure you have enough space on your harddrive.

For those who don’t pre-order or pre-load games, the latter is the followup to digitally pre-ordering the game, where you can actually fully install the game so the moment it strikes midnight on launch day, you can play the game immediately.

Despite the good news that Elden Ring pre-loading is now available on Xbox platforms, there’s no word if there will be a pre-load option for PC or PlayStation users.

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Bandai Namco:

The Golden Order has been broken. Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.

ELDEN RING, developed by FromSoftware Inc. and produced by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., is a fantasy action-RPG and FromSoftware’s largest game to date, set within a world full of mystery and peril.
