Microsoft Says Pre-Loading For Downloadable Games Still Planned

There had been indications that game pre-loading was going to be available for Titanfall, but that feature never materialized.
Sony recently confirmed that pre-loading for PlayStation 4 will be added to the console's firmware in an upcoming system update.

We're glad Microsoft is still planning on adding this feature, which is something that all gamers who download games digitally have been waiting for.
