Sniper Elite 3 Xbox One kräver obscent stor patch

Sniper Elite 3 släpps på fredag och kommer förhoppningsvis att låta dig skjuta av Hitlers risiga mini-mustasch i ultrarapid. Med Hitlers ansiktsbehåring följer också en tio (!) gigabyte stor uppdatering till Xbox One-versionen av spelet, som enligt Rebellion själva är till för att synka den digitala -och skivbaserade versionen av spelet med varandra, samt att förbereda spelets kompatibilitet i och med kommande multiplayerkartor så att spelare som inte köper dessa kartor fortfarande kommer att hitta matcher och ha roligt.

Här är utvecklarnas egna ord:
"The main part of the update is to sync data between the game's retail discs and the Xbox Live digital download edition of the game. In the several weeks between sending the code off to manufacture and release, rather than sit around or take a break, we've continued to work on the game, making improvements and optimisations.

We've also begun work on multiplayer DLC and a small part of this update is to introduce a compatibility pack. This is standard for any game that adds DLC - it's just to make sure everyone can have the same multiplayer experience whether they own DLC or not.

While we understand gamers will be frustrated at the wait, the good news is that the update will actually reduce the size of the game's total install footprint on their hard drive, and reduce the size of future patches significantly.

It's part of this ongoing optimisation process that's enabled Sniper Elite 3 to perform well at a native 1080p on both Xbox One and PS4. We appreciate everyone's patience and we firmly believe Sniper Elite 3 will be worth the wait!"
