It’s fair to say that God of War Ragnarok is a fairly huge game, requiring a whopping 190 GB of storage on SSD, and if you want to install it after release you’re going to be a bit delayed before you actually get to dive in. The good news is that, if you’ve pre-ordered or plan to do so, you’ll be able to pre-load. 

Pre-loading for Ragnarok will begin exactly 48 hours before the times noted above, starting at the following times:
