Dead Rising 3 update weighs in at 13GB

4.7
New DLC for open-world zombie game expected this week

A hefty 13GB Dead Rising 3 update has reportedly been released for the Xbox One exclusive.

The update was first revealed in a Tweet from Xbox studio manager Mike Ybarra, who said: "Wow, a 13GB DR3 update? Holy... good thing I have 110mbps".

Publisher Microsoft is yet to officially announce and detail the contents of the update, but we've approached the company to find out what's included.

Operation Broken Eagle, the first of four Dead Rising 3 DLC packs, is expected to be released on January 21. It is speculated that the sizeable update is in preparation for the launch of the new content.

Those who want to play the game without downloading the update can do so by disconnecting the console from the internet. Obviously, Xbox Live becomes inaccessible when doing so.

Operation Broken Eagle will put players in control of Spec Ops Commander Adam Kane, who is on a mission to capture the missing president of the United States. The DLC is the first in a four-part series of game add-ons collectively titled Untold Stories of Los Perdidos.

Operation Broken Eagle will cost $9.99 standalone, with European pricing yet to be confirmed. Follow-up DLC packs titled Fallen Angel, Chaos Rising, and The Last Agent are also scheduled to launch in 2014.

Holy F***! Really...This is really gonna eat up a lot of space quickly. I hope not all future XBone games are like this with their updates...and we can't even swap or upgrade the harddrive.

I wonder how long that took people to download. I use to get irritated with battlefield 3 updates for the 360 and they were like 1-3 GB. I couldn't imagine downloading one this large.

What a useless 1-liner comment. Any one of us here could have thought of that.

GreatLogic 13GB for one update, that's huge!


Right. That's bigger than entire games. I downloaded CoD4 and CoD5 from the marketplace, and they aren't even this big. Damn,


That is because CoD 4 and WaW are older games that require a lot less memory while DR3 is a Next Gen game.


Exactly. Moore's law ftw. :D

That's not Moore's law at all, it predicts the change in CPU upgrade and transistors every 2 years. It has nothing to do with games requiring more hardware lol.

Jayden- Are they releasing Dead Rising 4 in the update?!?

That's a massive update, what is even in it?
It would take me forever to download.

I remembering downloading BF3's 1.5GB or whatever it was update on the Xbox 360, and it took me a good hour.


I literally read this article's title and thought to myself how I used to think the BF3 updates were bad .-.

For an update are you kidding me? There are some full games that don't even amount to that. Ridiculous.
