Before launch day

  • Check your free storage. The download needs up to 212GB free — on a 512GB Xbox Series S that is close to half the usable space.
  • Update your console's system software before the game unlocks.
  • Pre-load if you bought digitally, so you are not downloading on launch night.
  • A boxed copy is a download code, so it needs the same download and storage as a digital copy.
  • Charge your controller, or keep a second one on a dock.
