After months of delays, Assassin's Creed Shadows is nearly here. We've been waiting long enough so make sure you learn how to preload the game before launch.
Table of Contents Plenty of upcoming video games have been delayed, but few as much and as far as Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Finally, the game is coming out one way or another very soon, giving us fans the ancient Japanese setting they’ve been asking for since the series began in 2007.
Whether or not this will be one of the best Assassin’s Creed games is yet to be determined, but we’re not far from getting that answer. If you’ve been waiting for months to get your hands on this new open-world game, these are all the preload details you need to know to be ready to enter the world of assassins as soon as possible. Assassin’s Creed Shadows release date There’s no more room for delays, so Assassin’s Creed Shadows will come out on March 20 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC no matter what. Recommended Videos Assassin’s Creed Shadows file size Assassin’s Creed Shadows is clocking in at 109 GB on Xbox, 100 GB on PC, and 123 GB on Mac. While PS5 sizes haven’t been confirmed yet, it should be nearly identical to the Xbox Series X version. Related No matter what platform you’re on, over 100 GB is a huge file size even by today’s standards. If you’ve got a slow connection, preloading will be essential to play the game in a reasonable amount of time after launch. Assassin’s Creed Shadows preload options Preloading is available right now for Xbox Series X gamers, with PS5 preloads reportedly starting on March 17. In either case, that will hopefully be plenty of time for players to get most of that massive file size downloaded. There is no word on when PC preloads will start, or if they even will be an option, though we suspect preloads will begin on March 17 alongside PS5 preloads. As long as you have preordered any version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you are eligible to preload the game if/when the option is available on your platform. Assassin’s Creed Shadows preorder details If you haven’t preordered Assassin’s Creed Shadows yet, it isn’t too late. There are three editions to pick from, but note that preordering any version will allow you to preload the game. Here’s a breakdown of your preorder options.Editors’ Recommendations
