EA Sports WRC’s official release is just around the corner, and Codemasters have already shared everything you need to know about preloading the game. Here’s how to preload EA Sports WRC as well as its file size on all platforms.

There are 78 cars in EA Sports WRC, 200 stages in 17 official FIA World Rally Championship locations, tons of fan-favorite game modes, and VR support. To make all of that a reality, Codemasters are switching to the Unreal Engine from their ten-year-old Ego engine.

This inevitably means that the EA Sports WRC file size will be large and it will be much more demanding than DiRT Rally 2.0, but thankfully, you can preload the game.

Here are the preload times for EA Sports WRC, which vary depending on the platform, along with the file size.

How to preload EA Sports WRC

To preload EA Sports WRC, you just have to pre-order the game on your desired storefront. Once pre-ordered, you can check out the store page of the game on your platform, and a preload option should be there.

Pre-ordering also grants you early access, which began on October 31.
