We’re about two weeks away from the release of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. Those playing on Xbox who have preordered the game can preload Armored Core 6, letting you can play as soon as it releases. Unfortunately, PlayStation and PC gamers will have to wait a bit longer.
Armored Core 6 preload size
The download size when you preload Armored Core 6 on Xbox is about 53GB. This is a bit on the smaller side in comparison to games like the recently released Baldur’s Gate 3, which ended up being about 122GB. However, FromSoftware has always managed to keep the file sizes of its titles in check.
For comparison, the massive open-world Elden Ring was under 50GB on consoles and only 60GB on PC. Dark Souls 3 was only 25GB on all platforms.
When we look at the file sizes of Elden Ring, Xbox as a platform was right in the middle. Therefore, it’s possible the size of Armored Core 6 will be smaller on PlayStation and bigger on PC.
What about Armored Core 6 preload on PlayStation and PC?
Unfortunately, there’s been no word on a pre-load date for Steam users on PC. Even though we don’t have a date, typically Steam grants a couple of days of pre-load before a AAA release.
PlayStation players on the other hand will be able to pre-load Armored Core 6 starting on August 23, which is two days before it releases.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon releases on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on August 25.
