When can I preload Rise of the Ronin on PS5?

Usually, games become available for preload a few days prior to their full release. However, as of right now, the estimated preload date for Rise of the Ronin is set for March 15 at midnight local time. This schedule aligns with similar Sony releases, giving you the chance to preload the game a whole week ahead of its official launch.

So you’ve got ample time to clear out space on your SSD if needed, ensuring you’ve got plenty of room for the game. Preloading also comes in handy if you’re stuck with a slow or patchy internet connection. No need to fret over watching that download bar inch forward on release day – you’ll already be preloaded and ready to roll!

Remember, to take advantage of the preload feature, you’ll need to have preordered Rise of the Ronin from the Playstation Store. The good news? You can preorder the game anytime before or during the preload period and still reap the benefits.

What time will Rise of the Ronin release?

The Playstation Store listing helps us to understand when the game releases. Expect Rise of the Ronin to go live at midnight local time on March 22, 2024. This follows the usual Playstation exclusive release protocol. Preloading in advance ensures immediate access to the game once the clock strikes midnight.

Regrettably, early access isn’t on the table for Rise of the Ronin’s release. While certain games sweeten the deal with deluxe edition packages offering this perk, Rise of the Ronin’s deluxe edition doesn’t offer it. Nonetheless, the brief wait following the preload should be a small price to pay before diving into Rise of the Ronin on March 22.

Rise of the Ronin is available exclusively on the PS5.
