Preloading Benefits

Download in Advance

Preloading allows you to download the expansion's file into your system, which can be helpful to do so in advance in case you have a slow Internet connection and avoid any delays when the game releases.

Play the Expansion Upon Release

Another benefit of preloading the game is that you will be able to immediately enjoy Sunbreak on June 30, 2022 after it is live, instead of purchasing and downloading it on the hour.

Fixing Download Errors

Check Internet Connection

Congestion of bandwidth can affect the availability of your download, especially if your internet connection has minimal Mbps. Connecting to a stronger and faster internet connection can help jump-start your game download.

Possible Loading Error (for Nintendo Switch)

Loading errors may occur and when that happens, one optional fix is to transfer your game or download path from the SD Card to the internal storage.

Game Not Immediately Playable on Launch

Despite the usual 12:00 AM launch time of most games, many players in Japan were unable to play right at launch, despite preloading in advance. While we can anticipate that you should be able to start playing right around the game's official release time, please note that factors such as the high volume of downloads by players around the world may cause temporary server issues, though they should resolve quickly.
