It looks like pre-load dates forBattlefield 2042on PS4 and PS5 have leaked early.
Though not officially confirmed just yet, Twitter account PlayStation Game Size is reporting PlayStation players will be able to pre-load the game in anticipation of release from November 10, depending upon which version of the game they’ve purchased.
Those who have preordered the Gold and Ultimate editions should be able to start downloading the first-person shooter from November 10, whilst the EA Play trial is thought to go live from November 12 (seemingly without the requirement for pre-load - thanks,GamesRadar+).

Players who’ve pre-ordered the standard version, however, have to wait a full week more, as they can’t pre-load until November 17 – that’s just two days before the street release date of November 19. And while none of this is confirmed, if true, it would be reasonable to presume the same dates will apply for those who have pre-ordered the game on Xbox and PC, too.
