The briefing
Published 8 March 2022. This archival report describes the announcement and offers of that period; temporary rewards do not remain active indefinitely.
Digital preloading opened ahead of the March 15, 2022 console launch. Players could prepare the PS5 or Xbox Series download through the relevant store after purchasing the corresponding product. Downloading early did not move the scheduled unlock time or convert an older-edition license into the new release.
The report also introduced Career Builder’s four starting routes: Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner and Biker. That system is intended to establish an Online career, with a starting allocation used for an eligible business and equipment. The standalone multiplayer product and Story Mode have different entitlements. Check which product was purchased before using a preload or launch-price report to decide what would be playable.
