Preload

Long gone are the days of downloading a game at midnight when its released, with many now offering the preload option in order to allow you to get stuck in as soon as you can.

Whilst no confirmed preload date has been announced yet, Thillainathan has revealed that more information regarding the Watch Dogs preload will be announced next week.

Keep an eye on RealSport101 for all the information surrounding that and much more.

Cross-Platform will NOT feature at launch

It's disappointing news if you were planning to play with your mates on different consoles.

Thillainathan has confirmed that cross-platform play will not feature at launch, but they are planning on implementing the feature as an update in year 1.

Online Play

Thillainathan has also confirmed that online gameplay will be a separate entity to that of the offline world.

He replied to a question asking about online resistance by stating that online is it's own dedicated sandbox, with its own set of playable content designed specifically for coop play.

It means there's more content to get stuck into. Winner.

Season Pass Characters

And finally, linking in nicely to the information about online play, Thillainathan has confirmed that all Season Pass characters are playable in both online and single player.

So if you're a fan of Aiden, or maybe Wrench, then fear not, as they will be able to join your online journey.
