Gears of War 4 pre-load includes the day one patch

4.7
If you’re pre-loading Gears of War 4, you won’t have to download anything on launch day.

Now that the pre-load for Gears of War 4 is available to both Xbox One and PC players, some are beginning to wonder if there’s a patch in works to be released on launch day.

Many games drop a patch at the very last minute – launch day, as developers are usually hard at work on content right up until the official release date. For Gears of War 4, this won’t be the case.

Rod Fergusson, studio head at Gears of War 4 developer The Coalition confirmed on Twitter earlier that the day one patch content is part of the pre-load.

Early access for Gears of War 4 begins October 7. The game officially releases October 11 on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.

Only three more days till the early access, its nice that the patch is already put in as part of the game for pre loading it, that'll save time for GoW fans to just jump into gameplay.

Nick Dumbest thing ever is day one updates. You download the game, then have to update it right away. Why not just update it while it's downloading.


It's not a day one patch. It's the rest of the games data disc can only hold so much.


That's not really the issue. It is a patch. It's more bug-fixes and improvements in the updates.

I believe this may be the first GoW game I pick up. It looks good and I've never played it once before.

This is how every game should be. I still think it's silly if we buy a hard copy of a game we still have to install it once we put the disc in.

Awesome of them to include the day one patch in the preload so you won't have an update when it's released.
