Yes. It is about 14GB. I am downloading the full version right now through Sprocket.

interestingly the way steam did the pre-load for the game makes it so that I no longer have access to the beta. Now I wish I hadn't downloaded the beta so that I could just play the full tomorrow

Huh? Why would you be ubable to play the full tomorrow (today)? Steam just updated your beta to full release, right? So you're good to go once it's unlocked.

For Sprocket customers I would recommend their direct links for download. Much faster as usual

Oh, that was in relation to my previous comment about going over cap limit. Which is no longer an issue. it seems i was confused on where their "month" starts. turns out I just rolled over so I'm good to go once the release is set

And Steam have updated the game files to the full release I take it?

Simmarket released the full installer about 2 hours ago.

I presume so but I cannot say for sure since I'm not at home and my RDP is off. I know it had me preload what it was indicating was most of the full version last night.
