    Is that downloading right now? That's the first of two parts that download, and the second part is much bigger.

    Go look at your notifications/downloads screen and you should see something like this (screen taken from my PS4 just before my download finished):



    See how it's split into two? the small part is the 7 GB that you'll need to, at minimum, start up the game. Once we hit midnight, if you have at least that part you'd be able to play one specific matchup between two teams until the rest of the game downloads.

      Re: Early Release

      Excuse my ignorance but how do I see the download screen or do I have to wait until 12 to download the game?

          If you have pre-ordered the game digitally:

          From the PS4 home screen, go to your library (at the end of your games list), and press down a few times to get to the "Purchased" list. Find The Show 18 and press X. You should see a download button on the next screen, so press X on it. That's it.

          You can monitor the download progress from your Notifications screen (also on the PS4 home screen. As mentioned, if you have at least the first 7 GB of the install downloaded by midnight EDT you will be able to start the game and play one matchup until the game finishes downloading. The rest of the game will unlock once the entire download (51 GB) finishes.

                My friend was just handed his copy from Gamestop early in Louisville. Will he be able to play or does he have to wait until 12am est? I ordered the digital version so I'm going to be upset if he gets a head start on me.

                  Yeah, if he's popping the physical copy in his PS4 he doesn't have to wait (well, the game has to install from the disc but that shouldn't take too long). Looks like you'll have to play catch-up

                    When I have new releases shipped to my house, about half the time I get them the day before release. Thinks its due to where I live.

                      And if he's waiting for the 1.03 update he'll be waiting a bit. Thing is a whopping 1.238 GB.

                          Did I download that with the pre-load or no?

                            My buddy got his at Gamestop in Clarksville. Said there were about 30 people there. Apparently there were other games they handed out tonight.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                              Only a 7.7 GB download? Will we have to wait for the rest of the game to download @11pm CST?

                                That's to start the download manually.
