Check games before they launch on Steam.
I’ve already placed the order for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and it will be available tomorrow. You can download it now or wait until the release date.
It might depend on Konami instead of Valve. In that scenario, don't wait too long.
It’s roughly six hours before the release, allowing you to pre-load the game. You might have heard that pre-purchasing gives an early advantage. Midnight in New Zealand is at 5 am the day before, and since the pre-order window stays open until 10 am PT on September 1, those with enough time can buy and download before the official launch. However, with a 28GB file size, some will likely have to wait. This was mentioned around 16:51 according to you.
Sadly... This means you have no choice right now unless they've since altered their stance and I haven't caught up. Edit: Interestingly, the same piece Werto shared above appears again, though I didn't see it earlier. It's not an official pre-load, but a few hours ahead if you're lucky. 28GB will still require several hours, so I probably won't be able to play until tomorrow.
