Some games that are still in development can be pre-ordered from the store.
On the store pages of those games, you’ll see an additional block displaying a timer counting down until the release.
Advantages of pre-ordering:
- in some cases, pre-orders are cheaper than buying the game on its release day.
- you can download a pre-ordered game at maximum speed.
- in some cases, you get to download a distribution of the game before the official release.
- added functions that the developer provides to players who pre-order the game.
Once you’ve made your pre-order, you’ll receive an email with all your purchase info. The Download button will be dimmed.
If the developer allows players to download a distribution before the official release, you will receive an email to that effect with a link to the game.
