When you pre- order a game from Amazon, does Amazon take the money now or it is delivered

When you pre-order a game from Amazon, they typically do not charge you until the item ships. However, they may place a temporary authorization hold on your payment method at the time of the pre-order. This hold may show up as a pending transaction in your account, but the actual charge occurs when the game is shipped. If you have any specific concerns about your order or payment, it's a good idea to check Amazon's policies or your account details directly.
