Pre-caching is the process by which parts of the game are loaded into your Games on Demand Player to make the game ready for you to use without waiting for the whole game to download. The caching process continues while you use the game. The Games on Demand Player continuously stays one step ahead of the game and caches data files before they are required by the game. This ensures that you experience the highest quality gaming experience, along with the shortest possible launch time for the game. When you launch a game for the first time, a progress bar appears on your Games on Demand Player that indicates the estimated caching time for the game.
