Now that the game has officially gone gold with a playable demo available on Xbox One, Forza Horizon 4 is just about ready to jump out of the starter’s gate -- and now players can get prepared for it.

In a Twitter post earlier today, Microsoft confirmed that Forza Horizon 4 is available for pre-load on the system, in both the standard and Ultimate Editions. That means players can get revved up for the racing game before its arrival in just a few days’ time.

That said, you will need to set aside some hard drive space for the game, as it’s the biggest Forza to date. The product listing indicates that you’ll need to set aside at least 62.69GB in order to store the game. Keep in mind this doesn’t include updates and additional downloadable content, so you may want to save some extra room, just in case.

The demo itself provides a good taste of what’s to come with Horizon 4. Along with traditional races, the game provides an opportunity to take on various side missions however you please, whether it’s stunt racing, rally events or other activities that pop up on your map. The game will be chock full of these, so expect hours’ worth of good stuff when it finally releases.

Here’s the official product description in case you need the lowdown:
