Hello Everyone,
I just Bought the physical disk version of Halo 5 and i insert it into my console. Surprisingly, The Game needed an update of a whopping 91.6 GBs. One of my friend had too, bought the game and he told me that he only needed an update of 70 GB or so. Is there any other content patching up with Halo in my case or is it 343 and Microsoft making the smallest updates, bug fixes and patches which are above 9 GBs?
Just request 343 to kindly reduce the size of further updates if possible since, it may be a terminator for the bandwidth usage and internal memory
for those who will buy the game.
All i can say is get an external storage thing. You’ll probably need it pretty soon if you play a bunch of other games lol.
The reason why the update is so big for you is because you’re kind of late to the party there’s been 6 or 7 free updates for Halo 5 in the past year and all of those have added up to the amount that you pretty much downloaded or still downloading future updates will only be like 7 even 13 gigs.
I see another user make a post like this a few weeks back and I think this is what’s happening here
When you install from the disc and there are outstanding updates, the game won’t wait for the disc to finish installing before it downloads the update. Instead it will run both actions concurrently, so the updates will be downloading while the content is copied from disc. The X1 update system runs very differently from the 360, where you only download the data you need. Previously you would have to go through multiple installs, now you just run one combined update.
So where it says it needs a 90GB update, I think that it is just combining the content size of the disc (about 40gig) and the DLC drops that have been happening since the games launched (about 50gig). You’ll only be downloading the additional DLC data

To add on to this, poppinin amazon it sounds like you may not understand how discs work on Xbone. The disc’s only 3 advantages are: faster install as internet speed doesn’t affect the disc, resell potential, and collective purposes. The game doesn’t ever run off of the disc. Once installed, the game runs locally, as though you had purchased the game from the XBL store and downloaded. At this point, the disc only serves as a fragile requirement to be inside your Xbone in order to launch the game. It’s basically a .exe file that launches Halo 5.
So in summary, buying the disc and buying the digital copy of the game take up the same amount of space on the hard drive. A lot of Xbone players don’t realize this, so I thought I would point it out.
This is why I recommend buying digital games if the prices are close.
