Destiny pre-loading begins for Xbox One and PS4

Pre-loading of the digital edition of Destiny, which formally launches on Sept. 9, has begun on Xbox Live and PlayStation 4, meaning those who have already ordered the game can begin downloading it to have it ready to go when the game unlocks.

The game becomes available at 3 am ET Sept. 9, midnight PT. PlayStation reminds that preloaders on PS4 or PS3 can either passively download the file if they have auto-downloading enabled, or manually initiate the download through the PlayStation store.

Destiny also unlocks on Xbox One at the same times on Sept. 9.
