Yooka-Laylee is up for preorder on Xbox One and you can download it right now here. The game costs $50 Australian so it means it should be around $40 in the United States. The release date is pegged at April 11. The file size has also been revealed and it comes in at just 5.23 GB on Xbox One. I’m glad it’s not massive because I’m sick of games which are supposed to be small but take up like 10 GB on Xbox One. My poor hard drive blesses these developers.
