When a piece of software, a game for instance, is offered for download by the developer before the official release, but it can't be played yet due to a protection, this is called a preload.
Usually this service is only available for people who preordered the game.
Half-Life 2 could be preloaded from steam.
Crysis could be preloaded five days before the official release, from the EA servers.

Game preloading 

Preloading (in sense of videogames) is when you are able to download a game before it's actually been released and available for everyone to play. So when the game is out, you can play it instantly if you preloaded the game.

This is very useful to people who have slow internet speed, so they won't have to wait for a long time before they can start it.

1: Hey, will this game allow preloading?
