Halo 5's day one multiplayer update is a massive 9GB!

Anyone who wants to play Halo 5’s multiplayer offering when they get their hands on the game is going to need to download a 9GB update first.

343 studio chief Josh Holmes responded to a fan’s query on Twitter and said that the update, which includes map content for the Arena multiplayer mode and the 12v12 Warzone multiplayer mode, is 9GB.

The update will be available to download before the game officially goes on sale, if you plan on “pre-downloading” Halo 5. If your Xbox One’s power setting is set to “Instant On", you'll automatically download the update on October 22nd.
