The gaming company recently acknowledged the issue and clarified that users who are facing problems with the pre-load should note that the Steam client actually unpacks all the contents that have been downloaded by the user, which includes installation of the pre-loaded game.
Steam also addressed the issue on Twitter saying that trouble faced by users is essentially a display issue where the client is working to unpack all of the encrypted data from the game pre-load. It also explained how users can verify the activity and requested them not to switch the data centers or reboot the Steam client.
You can verify this is what's happening by looking for "Disk Activity" on the downloads page in the Steam client.
