The pre-download update for all versions of Concord on PS5 went live on Aug. 13. If you’ve pre-purchased the game from the PlayStation Store, you can now preload the update

To preload Concord, go to your PlayStation games library and check if there’s an available update. If you’re pre-ordering it now, you should see an option to download it right after you purchase it.

Make sure you have at least 40GB of free space for the update. If you have auto-download enabled, your console has likely completed preloading the game on its own—check your library to confirm. 

Unfortunately, players on PC don’t have the preload privilege, unlike their PlayStation counterparts. So, if you have pre-ordered Concord via Steam, you’d have to wait for the official launch—scheduled for Aug. 23—or early access to load it into your rig. 

Thankfully, regardless of platform, players who buy the Digital Deluxe Edition of Concord are eligible for a three-day early access experience starting Aug. 20.
