I have a modded switch but I'm thinking of pre-ordering Xenoblade Chronicles 3 the normal & legal way, through the eShop, and I believe it will start the download a week a early. But the game itself will stay locked until release date. However, I've heard with some bigger games like that one, people find out how to unlock it early. Is this site/category the best place to watch for stuff like that? Does anyone know how the early unlock is applied in cases where it's made possible? (If you have an example post of it happening with a prior Switch game that's fine too, I couldn't find one)
