    Updating before installing games?


    Hello,

    I recently purchased Dishonored 2 for the Xbox One. Upon trying to install said game, the Xbox told me to go online and update it before playing. Now, I think Dishonored 2 is an offline, single player game, and thought this might be an error with the console
    or there might be a way around it. I ask because I do not want to go over my data allowance and so would prefer not to update.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Hi

    It is very common for games even single player ones to require updates to fix issues or add new features If you are are able to I would say it is best to take the update.

    You may wish to try putting your console offline mode hopefully this will stop it trying to take the updates.

    Dead Rising 3. Still looking for advice on a problem.

    did you start the game before the update installed 100%? you get a message saying you can play the game before the update fully downloads and installs. that messes up your save file. why anyone would be allowed to play a game before it finish's updating
    is weird.

    Your game it's in disc or digital?

    When are discs, before install updates, then will install the game.

    Batman Arkham City; Harley Quinn's Revenge (UPDATE REQUIRED)

    When a GFWL game gets a title update, it downloads the update then you need to exit the game before the update will install. There will likely be some prompts or acknowledgements through the install process. Did you exit the game and allow the update to
    install?

    Advanced Warfare Download - Keeps Going Back

    The problem seems to be when you accept the update before installing. If you delete the game, reset the system, then start the install again and say "update later". Let the game fully install, then get then get the update.
