Preorder? Need to go back to the days of World of Warcraft and the very first expansion.
Preordering games is dumb, S-T-U-P-I-D, Moronic, Pointless, Waste of everyone time. Waste of refund systems.
Don't. Preorder. Games.

On steam you can refund a game easily if it's shit.

Dark Auction, a new adventure game written by Rika Suzuki. She was the writer for the Hotel Dusk/Last Window/Trace Memory/Another Code R games, also a founding member of CiNG. She was also involved in writing the JB Harold series. This game features character design by Kohske, the author/illustrator of GANGSTA., and music by Monster Hunter composer Yuko Komiyama. The Japanese version includes English text/subtitles. Releases soon.
Dark Auction is called Dark Auction - Hitler's Estate in Japan.
 
For a physical copy of something? I think we have to go back to Xbox 360 era. Bioshock Infinite maybe? Besides that I preload a handful of games each year. 2025 Doom TDA and Nightreign.

I can preload most games without needing to preorder so probably like GTAV or something that had a midnight launch.
Otherwise I just start the download before I head for work and its ready by the time im home.
 
Since I like alot of jrpgs I usually pre-order them just to ensure I get a copy. I usually order a collectors edition and a normal version. The latest was Trails Beyond the Horizon.

Most other games not so much.
 
I always pre-oder, in my local EBgames I can pre-order without putting any money down, so why shouldn't I pre-order.

Currently what I pre-ordered...for now only these games are available for pre-order at my local shop.

I don't know if this makes me a terrible person but the Fighting Force Collection for PS5 from LRG.

The GameStop closest to me is rumored but not confirmed to be shutting down. If they're gonna remain open then I'll preorder Resident Evil Requiem next time I pass by it.
 
Wasteland 2 technically I guess so 2012 (the only game I've crowd funded, definitely should have chosen one of the other CRPGs of that era, the physical package was decent at least with the cloth map etc. but I wasn't a fan of how the actual game turned out).

The only game I pre-ordered was CP2077. But when I saw all the delays, I knew something fishy was up.
So I cancelled my pre-order. And I was so glad I did, because the game was a mess at launch.
I did buy it again, almost a year later, after several big patches and with a discount on top.
Will never do it again.
 
Digitally, Wizardry: The Five Ordeals because it had bugged price which was fixed after release so got it for cents. Physically I pretty much preorder anything that I want from a store near me, so right now it's Requiem.
 
I think it was Spiderman 2 for me...

I did have the double bundle for ff7 remake with a pre order for rebirth but cancelled it when I realised I HATED the combat in remake.
 
I'mma say Baldur's Gate 3 or Elden Ring, but I'm not actually sure. I called both of those games being goats before launch though. That said, I'm counting like 1 day before launch as "before launch."
 
I pre-ordered Metroid Prime 4... but was severely disappointed by the reviews so I canceled it. Also, a motorcycle? eh.

I'd have loved to play the game anyway. It's pretty. If I had infinite money, I would have, but I don't.

That $70 went towards a Switch 2 instead. Gaming ghetto represent.

Honestly, I don't even remember. I rarely pre-order. The next game I will pre-order is GTA6 because there is no way I am not playing that game at release.
 
Resident Evil Requiem as well cause I want the Steelbook… and also it's my favorite series and hence I support it by default. Last one before that was… you guessed it, RE4 Remake.
