I have game pass and downloaded the outer worlds for my base xbox one. I saw news that there was a big day one patch for the game, and the file size of the game in the microsoft store says over 36 GB. When I first downloaded the game it said 17.24 GB of data. This Is the original file size of the game before the day one patch, I've tried deleting it and reinstalling it and it still says 17.24 gb.

So is my console just not Updating games (other games appear to be updating) or am I just a dummy O.o

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wasn't the day one patch just for physical versions?

@alistercat: I'm not really sure to be honest with you! I just thought it wasn't Updating because of the file size, but maybe it has updated O_o I emailed obsidian support to ask them, but haven't heard back yet

@giantlennonx_x: Yeah I think that is already part of pre-loads and digital versions. The file size does sound small but I don't know.

Did you check the actual installed on disk size or are you just going by what you downloaded? Does Microsoft compress downloads? I don't think PS4 does but I haven't used my Xbox in a minute.

Either way the patch is included in the preload and presumably digital release of the game so I wouldn't be worried about it.

Yes.

If you're downloading to a base Xbox One it probably doesn't download the "Xbox One X Enhanced" files. This could be the reason for the different file sizes.
