Bethesda Softworks has confirmed via Twitter that its upcoming game "Fallout 4" will be available for pre-loading a few days prior to the official launch. This will be available for the PC, Xbox One and PS4. Not only that but fans will also be able to enjoy the "Fallout 4" inspired Nuka Cola Quantum soda drink by next month as well.
Pre-loading allows players who pre-ordered the game to have it downloaded and installed on their gaming console or PC before the official release date. When the game launches they can immediately start playing without having to wait for the game to download and install, a process which can take hours depending on how large the file is.
According to a report from IGN, no download size has been posted for the Xbox One or PS4 but the minimum storage space required for the PC is 30 GB, hence it is speculated that the download size for the console version will roughly be the same.
As the pre-loading feature is solely for digital purchases Bethesda has yet to announce if they will offer a similar system for those who have pre-ordered the physical copies of "Fallout 4," particularly those who ordered the limited collector's editions such as the Pip-Boy edition.
Bethesda then confirmed on Twitter that their Nuka Cola Quantum soda drink will be available starting next month, launching exclusively in Target on Nov. 10. The drink is based on a drink of the same name in the video games. IBethesda had developed the real-world version of Nuka Colas alongside Jones Soda Co.
In "Fallout 3" and "Fallout: New Vegas," Nuka Colas are rare and hard to find but when consumed they allow players to raise their AP (action points) for a limited time, allowing them to use the game's iconic VATS system a little bit more than usual.
"Fallout 4" will officially launch for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC on Nov. 10.
