The code for <em>Dark Souls</em> will be delivered to players’ Xbox message center within 7-10 days. It will also be redeemable on the Xbox One console. More information on Backward Compatibility can be found <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Those who pre-order on the PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store will receive a digital copy of the <em>Dark Souls III </em>soundtrack, and an exclusive pre-order theme for players’ PS4 consoles. Access to the soundtrack will become available on April 12<sup>th</sup> of this year.</p>
