Need for Speed: Rivals, the upcoming racing title from Ghost Games and EA, can now be preloaded via the Origin service on the PC platform by those who already pre-ordered the new game.

NFS: Rivals is set to debut next week across a variety of platforms, including PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, after already launching on the PS4 this week in North America.

Now, for PC owners who have already pre-ordered the game, EA has confirmed on Twitter that they can start preloading the game via its own Origin digital distribution service.

No word yet on how big of a download the game is but you can expect to hear a few more details as we head into next week and the actual launch of NFS: Rivals.

The game is out on PC on November 19 in North America and November 22 in Europe.
