“When can you pre-load Borderlands 3?” is a good question to be asking, now that we’re closing in on the September 13 release date. If you’re a PC, PS4, or Xbox One player who’s eager to get looting and shooting as soon as possible, then you’ll want to get the game fully downloaded ahead of time. This is especially true if you suffer from a slow or inconsistent internet connection, as the huge file sizes of modern games and updates can cause hours upon hours of delays. Here’s what you need to know about the Borderlands 3 pre-load times.
