Players on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One consoles can start pre-loading Black Ops 4 at 12 AM on October 10th in their local time. Pre-loading on the PC will start at 9 PM PT worldwide on October 9.
In addition to the pre-load times, Activision have also released information on how to install Black Ops 4 from a disc for each console:
Installing Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 from a PlayStation 4 disc
Before playing for the first time, players will need to download and install a day one update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. This update must be installed completely in order to access Multiplayer, Zombies, and Specialist Headquarters. Blackout is fully playable once installation is about 30% complete (approximately 16-20 GB).
For an optimized download experience, players should have 112 GB of free hard drive space – note that this is not the size of the download, it is the amount of space required to complete the installation process. The final installation footprint will be approximately 55 GB. In order to play Blackout before the full installation is complete, select “Update to Latest Version” when the prompt appears.
The day one update package is roughly 50 GB. Download speeds may vary based on region, platform, connection type, and the speed of your internet connection.
