Overview
- Xbox players who redeemed Walmart digital codes reported full access over the weekend, more than a week before release.
- A follow-up update removed access for most users, though some kept playing by disconnecting their consoles before installing it.
- Reports point to Walmart issuing an entitlement that unlocked the game instead of a preload license that stays locked until launch.
- The official Xbox preload is live at about 45 GB, with Deluxe early access set for May 19 and the full launch on May 22.
- Eurogamer notes the PC build includes Denuvo anti-piracy software, a move that has drawn performance concerns from PC players.
