Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds is a little over a week away from launch and the developer has revealed the game will have a large Day One update.

Those who purchase a physical copy of the game will need to download a 38 GB update on the Xbox One and a 18 GB update on the PlayStation 4. The Day One update will be included in the pre-load of the game for those that purchase a digital copy.

The Outer Worlds will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on October 25, and at a later date for the Nintendo Switch.

Yeesh. So if you buy it physical you are only getting half a game on the disk? Guess I'll wait until a GotY edition of this then.

Based on the size on the patches, I'm guessing they're for the Pro/X textures which they couldn't fit on the disc.

Maybe it's a combination of the two. Either way it's really annoying this is becoming the norm for day 1 patches.

There are no PS4 Pro enhancements, only Xbox One X.

Actually they confirmed on Twitter that the Pro version will support 1440p upscaled to 4K.

Well, Red Dead Redemption II takes up 150 GB on PC, so to me, it seems entirely plausible that this is for 4K assets. That, or it's just the usual where update sizes have blown up. It's bad but not a surprise.

Dead Rising 3 had a similar patch after launch. Basically redownloaded the entire game.

Is it really that bad? I mean just put your console in Sleep mode and let it download it over night.

You still own the physical copy if you bought it, You will just be missing the month worth of bug fixes and optimizations since it went Gold.

The Pro isnt on the same level as the X so expecting 4k or close to isnt a good way to look at it id understand your point if the Pro was on par or superior but its not, far from.
If you want 4k textures etc than buy it on PC or the X.
