How to preload games on Steam
Preloading games on Steam is super easy peasy! First, make sure you've pre-purchased the game. You can't preload without doing that step. Once the preload option is available (usually a few days before the game's release), Steam will show a 'Preload' button right on the game's store page or in your library if you've already bought it. Just hit that button, and the download will start. Remember, you won't be able to play until the official release date and time.

Just click 'Preload' when you see it in your library, assuming you've already bought the game. Steam won't let you play until the game's official launch, though.
Honestly, I've never seen the big deal with preloading. Just download the game when it comes out. Unless you're still on dial-up, it's not like it takes that long.
