drunetovich Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Usually games on steam are available for pre-load some time before release, and if this will be the case, i'm sure that this option will be available to the people that pre-purchase PoE on steam now. What about backers, will we get our keys before release in order to preload game and start playing right on release day? 1
Tartantyco Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Pretty sure BAdler said pre-load should be available on Monday or Tuesday. Should apply to everyone with the Steam version.

Urthor Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 ^ Yea we get emailed the Steam keys then so we can pre-load.
Ark Evensong Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Uh, no - you'll get an e-mail prompting you to log in on the Backer Portal, where you can generate a Steam key. (Or GOG, but pre-loading may be trickier/not available?) 1

scull0234 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I was just wondering , will there be the an option to preload the game if you pre ordered it ? That would be a nice thing to have , especially for people with slower internet !!
Cantousent Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I merged two topics that are by and large the same. The two questions revolve around pre-load. One asks if there will be one for backers and the other asked if there would be one for pre-orders. I'd thought pre-orders for STEAM were pre-loaded as I also thought the STEAM backer orders were as well. Tart references a dev up above, so we can certainly hope so. As far as GoG, I haven't heard anything yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

I was Kickstarter -backer (no beta), got no E-mail but in my Profile under the "My Products" tab there was the key gereato avilable. I generated one key for steam and activated it.
