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.

Dorkus That's a lot of GB's for 1 game. I hope it's not like that for future games.


It will probably get bigger!

A 13GB update for this game? That is ridiculous. This is the reason why I am unlikely to upgrade to the Xbox One due to the download sizes of games and updates as unfortunately my internet speeds are atrocious. It takes me about 25-30 hours to simply download a game if I am buying it from the marketplace on 360 (7GB). Hopefully they don't make too much of a habit out of releasing large updates.

I don't know why they are doing that with games now a days. Why do you have to install it now but not before?

TelePosted:

I normally install games for that, my internet connection isn't the best so I'll be waiting a while.
