Sony revealed today a list of upcoming PS4 games that are now available for pre-order and are also eligible for pre-loading. The pre-load feature allows you to download and install the games you pre-order several days before their release date. This means that once a game is unlocked you can jump right in and play it on launch day. The idea is that some large games take a long time to download so you need to wait for them to finish before you can play them, which can be annoying. Sony explains it like this: “any titles you’ve pre-ordered will be automatically pre-loaded and auto-downloaded to your PS4 system by default. All you have to do is pre-order the game, make sure your PS4 remains in standby mode, and sit back and relax.” The list of upcoming PS4 games that are now available for pre-order and pre-load can be found below.

Last but not least, the company reminds us that although they are focusing on PS4 pre-orders at the moment, the pre-load feature is available for the PS3 as well.
