Why do I get game updates as large as the game?

Console games run in a slightly different way when compared to pc games. On a pc an up date is just a patch that overwrites certain parts of the programme.
But on console for the same update to be installed the whole game has to be overwritten.

Yes, it`s a pain, but something you just have to live with.

The thing is though, whenever my friends get the same updates it's the correct size, like with the update with Apex, I got a 64 gb update and my friends got a 128 mb update.

I'm having the same issue with the same game. I have had to do it 3 times now. It takes about an hour or so. It's really inconvenient, especially when the download time is longer than your intended play time.

13 gb for dead rising 3 is ridiculous what could possibly need fixed that it warrants a 13 GB update thats larger then 2 old gen games just for a update . I just bought Thief the other day and i pop it in and the update is 6 GB which is pretty laege an i
know once i download that a couple days later there is another 4 GB update. Im okay with these one even 2 gb updates my internet can handle that but bothing over that really. Please dont say get another internet provider if i did that i would have to move
to a new house some ISP is currently installing fiber outdide by the highway but it is goin to take quite a while to finalize so i dont have other internet options. I just dont see how a large update on 360 is about 50 MB for a 5000MB game thats 1/100 of the
game size on xbox one there 13 GB for a 25 GB gmae thats over hal the orginal size

No BusGod, Chis is right, these large updates shouldn't be accepted by us the final end-users but also by XBox one. After all it is thier name that is taking the brunt of the backlash. I think Microsoft should tell the publishers and developers that they
won't accept this anymore. It is soiling thier reputation, making them look bad.

Another problem with these large updates is the actual space they take up on the hard drive. Sure the hard drive looks big now but wait several years from now.... Think back when Xbox came out with the first 360, seemed them like the hard drive was build
to have space for a lifetime. Yet several years later we all started buying hard drive that were more then 5 times bigger. This issue shouldn't be left to the end user. Microsoft need to get involved. for thier own sake.
