Your money is currently being held as part of a process known as Authorization Hold:

"Authorization hold (also card authorization, preauthorization, or preauth) is the practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with a debit card or credit card and holding this balance as unavailable either until the merchant clears the transaction (also called settlement), or the hold "falls off." In the case of debit cards, authorization holds can fall off the account (thus rendering the balance available again) anywhere from 1–5 days after the transaction date depending on the bank's policy; in the case of credit cards, holds may last as long as 30 days, depending on the issuing bank."

In this case the hold will "fall off" and the money will be made available to you. Another Authorization Hold will be requested shortly before the game's release in order to prepare the final payment which will be taken on the game's release date.
