Recently announced at Gamescom, the Xbox One now finally supports pre-loading of games before their release. You can now buy games from Xbox's site and download them on your console, though they stay locked and only become available to play once they release.
The first game available for pre-load is the upcoming Madden NFL 15, which is part of the EA Access service. Those who are part of the service can access the game now, for up to six hours. While the rest can buy the game now and pre-load it, they will be able to play it after 12:01am PDT, next Tuesday, when the game officially releases.

Pre-loading had been a highly anticipated feature for Xbox One, since it was first mentioned at E3 by Xbox head, Phil Spencer. PlayStation 4 recently got the service in June.
