Sadly, this ‘large replace’ isn’t large when it comes to content material, however fairly file measurement. Regardless of solely that includes a small handful of bug fixes, the replace is clocking in at a bizarrely giant 40.2GBs on the Xbox Sequence S/X consoles. That is practically the file measurement of your entire authentic launch of Watch Canine: Legion.

To make issues worse, the PlayStation 5 model of Legion‘s replace is downright diminutive compared at 3.2GBs, a lot to the chagrin of Xbox Sequence S/X homeowners. There are just a few attainable theories for this, reminiscent of file storage being dealt with otherwise on the Xbox console regardless that each the Sequence S/X and PS5 use solid-state drives.
