As gamers, we’re always looking for ways to get our hands on new games as early as possible. But the question is, is Steam going to preload Resident Evil 8? Here’s what we know!
Will Steam Preload Resident Evil 8?
You will be able to download the game on Steam just like any other game when it becomes available for preload, but you will have to wait until the actual release to play it.
Without a doubt, Steam will not preload Resident Evil 8. Some games are preloaded on PC, but Capcom games are not, because it is simple to hack the game and make it immediately playable on PC.
However, if you are impatient and want to start playing your game as soon as it is published, you should preload it. You can use your Xbox [1] Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, or PS5 to do so.
