Cyberpunk 2077 Is Ready to Pre-Load
The day has almost arrived!
The weeks have turned to days, and those days are now dwindling down to hours! With Cyberpunk 2077 set for release this December 10, pre-loads have started across the many game stores offering this hotly anticipated yet much-delayed game.
Pre-loads enable eager gamers to download their games ahead of release, but the game cannot be played until it is officially released. At this exact moment, Cyberpunk 2077 is available for pre-load via GOG for PC gamers, with 100% of your money going directly to CD Projekt Red. Pre-loads via Steam and Epic Games Store will start from 11AM ET, with a percentage of the purchase price going to the store and the remainder to CD Projekt Red.
