Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC – The Indigo Disk: preload

While there have been exceptions in the past, there usually aren’t any preloads on the Nintendo Switch eShop – you’ll very likely need to download Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – The Indigo Disk DLC after it has been released in your region at the corresponding time above.

Fortunately, the three big regions of the Americas, Europe, and Asia will all have quite different launch times, so Nintendo’s server infrastructure should be able to handle the challenge.
