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.

That is an absolute disgrace. No consideration what so ever for people with a average and below connection.

It might be like an installer type deal and removes data from the current installation of DR3, if not then it is most definitely a bunch of shit we don't need..

chevyrydinhigh2 13gb.. That sh*t is just stupid. I'm assuming that they added the dlc in that update so when you buy the dlc you get it right away, if not then that's just outrageous.


It may seem stupid, but it's a gold mine for those who wanted a good update haha.


I only rented the game, so maybe if i were to buy it, the changes would be appealing towards me.

Int holy moly 13GB most games are not even that.


They are usually half of that in fact, and this is a mere update
