Black Ops 3 Release Date: 10 Things Buyers Need to Know

Digital Black Ops 3 Release: Preload and Download

You can buy Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 digitally through the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store or on Steam.

If you do this you can download the game early. This is called pre-loading and it is available on PS4 now. The Xbox One Black Ops 3 preload should be live at this time as well. Expect to see Steam preloads start in the next day or two.

When you pre-load you can play the game as soon as it unlocks, instead of downloading and installing it.
