Q: What time are pre orders available to download?

Hello there, Jon3nt.

The following Knowldge Base article has the information you are looking for regarding Preorders:

Specifically:

Downloading a pre-ordered item

When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.

If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloadsto begin downloading your pre-order.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities for answers to your question.

Cheers,

Pedro D.
