inFAMOUS: First Light Now Preloading August 26, 2014

One of the best advantages to placing a preorder on digital content is the ability to preload that content on your gaming system so it can be ready to play the very second the content releases.  I have been asking developer Sucker Punch for days now if they planned to offer a preload to anyone who chose to preorder their next game, a digital standalone expansion to inFAMOUS: Second Son,  inFAMOUS: First Light.  Well, tonight I discovered that anyone who placed a digital preload for inFAMOUS: First Light on the Playstation 4 should find their game starting to preload right now.

Unfortunately, the game is not yet available to play.  The game’s countdown timer is still ticking, and if my watch is correct, that means the game should officially unlock worldwide at 1 PM Eastern Time today.  A shame really, I was hoping for a midnight release.  The other issue is that the exclusive player skin for Fetch, dubbed the DUP Fetch costume, hasn’t been downloading alongside the rest of the preloaded content.  Many players across the world, myself included, have instead been greeted with an error message when their PS4 tried to download the DUP Fetch costume.  Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

inFAMOUS: First Light launches later today exclusively on the Playstation 4.
