It starts downloading on release day I guess, so you can play almost immediately after the release.

no you don’t get it early you get it on the date and time of release meaning the 10th at whatever time, here its usually 11pm/12am pre release you will pay for it early then on the right time/date origin will download the rest to you pc so you can play when its released
I’ve preordered it and it said it would come out today, I checked on sims and it said download to use but there’s no where to download it on Origin, which is where I got it from.

So was u able to download it and play or are u still waiting
with the pre order it basically means you get it on release date rather than waiting to buy it on that day, so if it comes out 10th at midnight it will download and be rdy for you to play at midnight
I hate Origin. I won’t be pre-ordering with them anymore. It’s past 12 am. I pre-ordered the game. Still won’t download. What’s the point of pre-ordering? It did this last time too. I had to wait until the middle of the day last time.

HKS WELL IT DOES SAY MINE ISN’T AVALIBLE TO PLAY UNTIL 11PM TONIGHT. AND I’VE PRE OREDERED MINE TOO. SO GUESS WE’RE JUST HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER.
