The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Now Available for Preload

With The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt almost upon us, the game is now available for pre-load over on Steam as well as GOG.com, with the Origin release following in a few days on the 14th.

Anyone who's pre-ordered the game through whatever platforms they pre-ordered it on can now choose to preload the game and be among the very first players to experience the fantasy role-playing game when it launches on the 19th this month.

If you got the game as a free gift from your purchase of a GeForce graphics card or otherwise chose to pre-order it from GOG.com, you can download the GOG Galaxy client, which will allow you to preload the DRM-free version of the game. Like Steam, it allows you to automatically update your game, and features played time tracking and achievements, because who doesn't love those things?

Additionally, the game is also available for pre-load on the Xbox Live. It will launch soon for the PlayStation Network.

Here are the times the game will officially unlock at on May 19: 

May 18th, 4.00 pm PT (Los Angeles)

May 18th, 7.00 pm ET (New York)

May 19th, 00.00 am BT (London)

May 19th, 2.00 am UT (Moscow)
