May Update Why Do All My Games Require Multi-GB Updates?

I understand your pain. Most deveklopers add new content skins and features to most games. Also some games are updated in terms of technology to further enhance the experience. The disc are the bare bones game without updates etc.

Hi there!

Some developers will issue large updates due to the issues that need to be resolved for their games. Some could depend on what the players have found and what could be improved. Sometimes they are new content that are being released for the games and will
require larger updates.

Hope this helps!

I have multiple complaints but the core issue is that I was playing games one day then updated my console and now I can't.

if you are only going to play offline I suggest setting your Xbox as your Home Xbox then setting it to Offline mode.

you need to connect to the internet to set it up but once set you can disconnect and play offline.

Designate a Home Xbox

once that is done, go to System > Settings > General > Network Settings and select Go Offline.

you should now be able to play offline without worrying about updates eating up your bandwidth.

if you want to play online again you will need to reverse the last process.

I think I figured out the issue and its not good. The console dumped all my games and it was looking to reinstall them from the web for some reason...not a happy camper with XBOX. There has to be a way to have a stand alone system that isn't so integrated
with the web for people who don't play games online. Not everyone believe it or not has high-speed internet or wants or has the capability to play online games so its authoritarian to force people to update games that play just fine by requiring them to update
if they don't want or need to. Now I have a brick for a game console
