Sorry to burst the bubble, but playing preloaded games early on Steam isn't officially supported. Steam locks games until their official release date to ensure fairness. Some people try changing their VPN to a region where the game is released earlier, but I don't recommend it because it's against Steam's terms of service and could get you in trouble.
