By now, Prey is out for everyone to play. But first, you’re going to need to download that shiny Prey Day One Patch that will be pushed as soon as you load the game. Well, unless you’re on the PC as there are still reported issues with this. This patch weighs in at 1.3GB, so it might take a bit to download.
