HOW THE HELL DO YOU PRE DOWNLOAD THE GAME?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I heard the game is now available for pre download. But I have no option for pre downloading it. It has been saying “Pre Ordered” for me ever since I bought it. But nothing apart from that. In the size, it says 46gb but it started showing that 2-3 weeks ago only. I am pretty sure it hasn’t downloaded the game.

Delete the pre ordered edition in your Games and Apps and then go to the xbox store and install (for free since your bought the Pre order edition) Halo 5: Guardians :slight_smile:

DO NOT RE PURCHASE IT. My friend jake did that like an idiot Face palm

Your pre download for any game shouldn’t start until a week prior to launch.

5

Uninstall the so called 46Gb placeholder. Then hit install :)))

I don’t think that’s the solution.

Dumb question but can I preload the game if I’m getting a physical disc?

No because there’s no way of your XBox knowing you have purchased/pre-ordered the game

This is how it works. You can uninstall it and go back to the Xbox Store too, open the edition you purchased and install. Is not going to ask you to buy it because you already have it.

Sometimes you have to go to games and apps, games, find said game, hit the select button, manage game, and it will say install or something, some DLC is like this also.
