While Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t launch for another week, you can download the free character creator demo right now on all platforms. While we all expected magnificent gameplay and ginormous boss fights, what we didn’t expect was the best character creator capable of recreating celebrity faces with impeccable detail.

However, next week we will be released into the wild, and here is how to preload the game on PS5, Xbox, and PC so you can start your journey the very second the game unlocks.
How to preload Dragon’s Dogma 2
You can preload Dragon’s Dogma 2 right now on Xbox Series X/S. It has been posted in the game’s subreddit that preloads are now live on Xbox, but it is not available to download on either PlayStation or PC yet.
The preload date on PS5 is March 20th. The release date for Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PS5 is March 22nd, and the ability to download on PlayStation is always two days in advance of a new game’s launch.
