ELI5: How does pre-loading on video game consoles work?

And how is it that if you download most of the game early, stuff isn't leaked by going into the games files or anything?

The console downloads pretty much everything but it can be left encrypted; your console has the file but it cannot make sense of it. When the game releases they just send the key and it can be decoded.
