How to preload Armored Core 6: Dates, file size, more
FromSoftwareYou can hop on to Armored Core 6 the moment it launches if you preload the game, and here’s how to do it.
FromSoftware is returning to its sci-fi mech roots with Armored Core 6, after a decade of exclusively building eerie and mythical worlds in Soulsborne games. All of the details that FromSoftware have shared about the game imply that it’s retaining all of the series’ hallmarks, and has no major leaning toward its Souls counterparts.
But being a FromSoftware game, no matter how long it is, every mission is going to be tough, and the only thing you can rush is the download as you can preload it before its release.
Here’s how to preload Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon when it goes live.
