Wait till you hear about the new CoD game, you gonna need an entire SSD dedicated to the game just to have other things installed xD

Compressed 6GB, unpacks into 48GB.

Seriously?

I am legit confused now. There will be an additional download later for the actual DLC or does that 6GB download already contain the whole DLC and we just wait for it to activate?

Why is it so damn hard for you all to take 5 seconds to do a simple search and read

This is incorrect. The update is 6GB, the game files that are being patched are 48GB. You already have these installed.

No. Somehow people still don't understand that Steam's download and disk measurements are work size, not final data size. It's a 6GB download with 48GB of disk work that consists of unpacking and applying said update, then verifying the modified files to make sure the patch applied properly. The install size after patch is 51.3GB.

not seriously, it is just differential patch that touches almost any game file.
a differential patch is a difference between old and new version of some data. it contains new data, and instruction in which places it should insert that data.
so if it inserts even 1 byte into a 48GB file, steam will show it as processing 48GB of data
