How to pre-load Marathon? All file sizes and more

Marathon goes live worldwide on March 5, and you can pre-download the files on your platform in advance.

Doing so will allow you to save time when the launch actually happens. If you’re short of storage space, you also get the time to erase some files that you don’t need. This guide will provide you with all the important information you’ll need regarding Marathon‘s pre-load.

How to pre-load Marathon

The pre-load system for Marathon is largely the same, but differs slightly based on the platform.

Steam

As you can see from the screenshot above, the pre-load option should automatically appear on your Steam library. If you have multiple games available for pre-load, you have to choose Marathon from your in-app library manually.

This will begin the pre-load, and all you need to do is just wait for the files to be installed.

PlayStation

Open the console and choose Marathon from the main menu of the PSN store. Alternatively, you can do the same from your library. Open the game’s store page, and then begin the download process. The process of download and installation is the same.

Xbox

The steps are the same as mentioned under the PlayStation section above. However, you’ll also need to purchase the game first if you haven’t done that. There are two editions to pick from; go for the Deluxe edition if you want bonus cosmetics to customize the looks of your weapons and runners.

All Marathon pre-load sizes

Marathon required 15GB of data to download during Server Slam. While the full version will be bigger, it’s not by much. Here’s approximately how much space you’ll need for the pre-load.

• PlayStation: 15GB
• Steam: 17GB
• Xbox: 18GB

I was certainly expecting the file sizes to be larger (given we are getting plenty more content compared to what we had in Server Slam). Hence, it’s great for those of you who have a shortage of storage space on your drives.

While pre-loading it won’t allow you to get in early since there’s no early access, it will help you save time after the full launch.

The Division 2 has a fresh set of Twitch Drops for all to get for free as part of the 10 year anniversary of the franchise, and there are some cool items to be earned.

While this is the latest round of Twitch drops you can get, the process remains the same. Let’s quickly look at all the items that you can get as part of the celebrations.

How to get all 10 Year Anniversary Twitch Drops in The Division 2

There are five different rewards to win as part of the latest Twitch Drops. Here’s a list of everything you can earn by simply watching partnered streams of The Division 2 on Twitch.

• Anniversary Cache: 30 minutes
• Decade Arm Patch: 1 hour
• Anniversary Cache: 2 hours
• Phoenix weapon skin: 3 hours
• Faye Lau Backpack trophy: 4 hours

To unlock the rewards, keep watching the streams until you hit the milestones. You can do so between now and March 10 (until 5am CT).

It’s not necessary to watch the complete duration in a single seating. You can also accrue up the hours across multiple streamers. Make sure that the drops are enabled for you to get the rewards.

How to redeem the 10 Year Anniversary Twitch Drops

To make yourself eligible, you’ll need to link your Twitch account with your Ubisoft Connect account. This is an one time process. Once done, you’re now eligible for the rewards. Next, just watch the streams for the required durations, and you’ll unlock the rewards as applicable for the milestone.

Then, redeem the rewards for them to appear in your in-game messages. You can then accept the rewards and add them to your inventory. With plenty of new content in the pipeline for this year, it might be a good decision to follow the streams to find out what’s new during the Anniversary season that will be live until Apr. 2.
