Massive size for game uodates like forza7 almost 100GB

Those are not the game updates. It sounds as if the updates are being cancelled which would also uninstall the game so you're redownloading the game and the updates.

As far as if your internet were to go down, you can find information about using the console offline here

Hello there,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. I would just like to say that Microsoft has nothing to do with the file size of the game updates. The only ones we are responsible for is the System updates.

Game updates are made and sent out by the developers of the game. If you would like to know more about this update, and why it is so large, you should

get in touch with the developers.

Hope this helps!

How are you measuring the sizes of your games?

If you go into "My games & apps" and sort by size, it will show the size of each game on its tile, but only the base game; not any DLC.

For example, I have Forza Horizon 5 with both DLC add-ons installed. If I sort by size, it shows the size as 129.1GB, but if I go into "Manage game & add-ons", it shows the size as 159.1GB as it includes the DLC. The difference can be massive, so that can easily account for 100GB of space across several games.

Once I also had an issue where I uninstalled a game, but it did not give me the free space back, so it was acting like the game was still installed, even though it no longer showed in my library. To fix that I did a factory reset, choosing the option to keep my games/apps/DLC installed, and that restored the missing space.

Also don't forget the I think the game size is nearly 100GB and this will take quite a while to install.

There are some games that use almost 100GB such as Red dead Redemption 2
