How to Download & Preload Games before Release when you Preorder on PS5 Console (Best Method)
1Pre-ordering and preloading games on your PS5 is a great way to ensure you're ready to play the moment a new title is released. The process is fairly straightforward, but there are a few settings you'll want to have enabled to make it as seamless as possible.
Here's a breakdown of how to download and preload games before release on your PS5:
1. Enable Automatic Downloads and Updates
This is the most crucial step. By enabling automatic downloads, your PS5 will automatically begin downloading the game files a few days before the official release date, as long as your console is in rest mode and connected to the internet.
Go to Settings (the gear icon on the top right of your home screen).
Select Saved Data and Game/App Settings.
Choose Automatic Updates.
Make sure Auto-Download and Auto-Install in Rest Mode are turned on.
2. Configure Rest Mode Settings
For the automatic downloads to work while you're not actively using your console, you need to ensure your PS5 stays connected to the internet in rest mode.
Go to Settings.
Select System.
Choose Power Saving.
Select Features Available in Rest Mode.
Make sure Stay Connected to the Internet is turned on.
3. Pre-order the Game from the PlayStation Store
Once you have your settings configured, you can pre-order the game.
Go to the PlayStation Store on your PS5.
Find the game you want to pre-order.
Select the price or Pre-Order.
Once purchased, the game will appear in your Game Library with a countdown timer to its release.
