Witcher 3 - Preloading and Unlock Time

As several have already commented on our forums The Witcher 3 is now available for preloading from Good Old Games and Steam. The following is the press release for that, which also shows at what time the downloaded game can be unlocked.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now available for preload on GOG.com and Steam, with the Origin release following on the 14th.

Everyone who pre-orders the highly anticipated, next-generation RPG, can choose to preload the game and be one of the very first to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt when it goes live on May 19th.

At GOG.com, the simplest way to preload the game is through the recently announced GOG Galaxy client. GOG Galaxy is fully integrated into the DRM-free release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and includes convenient auto-updates, game time tracking and achievements.

The game is also available for preload to gamers who purchased Wild Hunt on Xbox Live, and will be available for PlayStation Network users soon.
