We’re about two weeks away from the release ofArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.Those playing on Xbox who have preordered the game can preloadArmored Core 6,letting you can play as soon as it releases. Unfortunately, PlayStation and PC gamers will have to wait a bit longer.
The download size when you preloadArmored Core 6on Xbox is about 53GB. This is a bit on the smaller side in comparison to games like the recently releasedBaldur’s Gate 3,which ended up being about 122GB. However,FromSoftwarehas always managed to keep the file sizes of its titles in check.
For comparison, the massive open-worldElden Ringwas under 50GB on consoles and only 60GB on PC.Dark Souls 3was only 25GB on all platforms.
When we look at the file sizes ofElden Ring, Xbox as a platform was right in the middle. Therefore, it’s possible the size ofArmored Core 6will be smaller on PlayStation and bigger on PC.
Unfortunately, there’s been no word on a pre-load date for Steam users on PC. Even though we don’t have a date, typically Steam grants a couple of days of pre-load before a AAA release.
PlayStation players on the other hand will be able to pre-loadArmored Core 6starting on August 23, which is two days before it releases.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconreleases on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on August 25.
