PC Preloading
All players who pre-purchased the game digitally on Battle.net can preload the title so they’re ready to play the moment the game goes live.
Preloading for PC begins on November 2 at 10 AM PT. If you purchased a digital version of the game but it does not download during the preload period, find Vanguard under “Partner Games” in the Battle.net Launcher and follow the prompts to begin the download.
