I was told if you preorder a game through the xbox one, you can download the game straight away and then when its released you can play it.

is this true?

Right now you cannot pre order CoD: AW on the X1 but expect next month for you to be able to. For instance with Forza Horizon 2 you can download the game now and then play it at 12:01 am on the day of launch. The same thing goes for FIFA 15.

Yeah this is true, not sure about AW yet but most likely, usually a few weeks before release they will give you the option for different, additions they did this with a few games like Destiny, Madden 15 and currently Forza Horizon 2. They'll probably do it for cod.

I pre-ordered the Digital version of destiny and I was able to download the game a few days before the official release date but couldn't play it.

I was able to play it at 2 AM my time (Central US) on September 9th. I'm sure it will work the same way with other games.

i Guess ill have to wait an see if you can do it. Main reason i want to know is because whenever i preorder stuff online it always comes late. and i don't really want to get the game 2 days late. so Hopefully sledgehammer or Activision or whoever decides, lets us download it early.

Most games let you pre-order it digitally and have it downloaded then let you play it 12:01 am day of the launch. I hope cod doesn't make us wait because with destiny I had to wait until 3am est.
