Yep it appears that way. I've heard they will put it up within 4 days of release for you to download and preload.

Yeah, the PS4 had a firmware update today that allows you to pre download/install digitally pre ordered games. BUT, it seems we can't do that quite YET. Maybe something in the code that says it's not functional until like 3-4 days before launch or something. But FIRST you have to install today's system software update for your PS4. (That being said, once it's able to do that, you'll be sure to find the news all over these here boards.)

The PS update 1.70 allows to digitally pre-ordered games to be downloaded prior to the street release date. At 12:01am, the game will be unlocked so you'll be able to play immediately, rather than waiting for the game to download and install.

The 1.70 update came today, however, The Show is not yet available to be pre-downloaded. They are hoping that it is the case over the weekend, however, none of this has been confirmed. People are just speculating. You will not be able to play the digital version prior to May 6.

Beat me to it by less than a minute!

And to the mods, may I offer a suggestion to keep this thread open in order to use once the feature is active....

IF in fact The Show is one of the games that have pre-loading capabilities, you will be able to DOWLOAD the game in advance, but not PLAY it.


By having it downloaded in advance, you would be able to play it as soon as the clock strikes midnight on May 6th.

Good clarification.
