You can pre-download Dead Island 2 so that it is available to jump right in when the unlock time comes. To do that, you need around 20 to 70 GBs free depending on your platform. For some reason, last-gen consoles only need 20 GBs for Dead Island 2 while current-gen and PC need around 50 to 70 GB.

Dead Island 2 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
