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.

I wish that they made the hard drives 1tb because all of theses updates are like another game.

Twilightlicious I feel so sorry for people who have not-so-good connections


It will take me around 2-4 hours, my internet is much faster with an Ethernet cord, so I recommend others using Ethernet if they aren't.

An update of this magnitude may scare away people from buying the DLC. I wonder what kind of content tightly packs in all this space for 13gb.

Why is it 13GB
You will out of memory in no time
And with my connection it would take up to 2 weeks to download it
