How to pre-load Split Fiction

The best news about all of this, especially given the 87 GB installation size, is that Split Fiction can be pre-loaded. This will allow you to play as soon as the game goes live around the world, so you can dive straight in and get absorbed by the story. 

To do this, all you need to do is purchase the game on your selected platform and then simply install it as you would any other game that’s already released. You won’t be able to play until March 6 at the time listed above for your time zone, but you will have it all set up and ready to go when the time comes.
