    I am just curious if there is a way to go check that a patch for a game has been downloaded. I have AC unity digitally and it has a new 6.5GB patch but I can only assume it downloaded but have no real way to know as i cannot find where to look for that.

    Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

    Thanks

    :)

  3. BF4 Patch from 12-13. How do I know if it installed???

    Hey Warlok9, did you find an answer?

    I too am wondering how to download and install patches for games...i have the digital versions of NBA 2k14 and BF4, both of which have had patches released. How do I download and install these patches? Or how do i confirm whether or not the patches have
    been automatically downloaded and installed? My xbox one has Instant-On mode enabled.

    At the moment it doesn't. If you're going to be playing online on an Xbox One game, you'll know if you have the latest patch or not. If you don't, the game won't work in multiplayer.

    You can't go by the size of the game either. These large patches usually contain graphics data which actually overwrite part of the original game install. So even if say your game was a 40GB install or download, it doesn't necessarily mean that a 6GB update
    will make the game will now use 46GB of hard drive space, if that makes sense.

    If you have the console set to 'Instant on', game updates will happen in the background. If not, you will be prompted for an update when you launch the game. If there is no prompt, either your game/s don't need an update or your console is offline.

  5. Ok just wanted to check, most of the time my system is on because of my cable box. I did not see any prompts and the game did load but i can try a co-op mission to truly know for sure.

    Thanks for that info
