Square Enix has revealed details on the Marvel’s Avengers day one update, which will be available to download for physical versions of the game on PS4 and Xbox One. If you’re buying the game digitally, the update is included in the initial download, so you won’t have to worry about it.
Marvel’s Avengers Day One Update
Here’s the official word straight from the game’s official website:
Those who purchase a physical copy of Marvel’s Avengers will need to connect to the internet one time in order to download the game’s Day One Patch. The patch is approximately 18GB in size. Those who purchase the game digitally will receive the patch along with the game’s initial download.
After the day-one patch download is complete, an internet connection will not be required to play the game solo, although as mentioned above, you’ll need an active internet connection to play online co-op, and to download post-launch content including new heroes, new missions, and new regions for free.
The Marvel’s Avengers day one update includes localisation files for the game’s dialogue, which is crucial as the game is being localised in 15 different languages. In addition, players can expect ‘fixes, feedback, updates and tuning from our Beta weekends.’
Marvel’s Avengers is due for release on PS4, PC and Xbox One on September 4, with a PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade also available.
