Aliens: Fireteam Elite has a pretty significant day one patch that appears to add a whole lot of stuff to the game and also comes with the usual bug fixes.
Aliens: Fireteam didn’t have Elite added in its title, and the game was even rated by ESRB, but all that changed when the game was confirmed for a release later in August. It is coming to nearly all platforms save for the Nintendo Switch. The game was developed by Cold Iron Studios and will be published by Focus Home Interactive.
As is the case with most games, there is a tradition of a massive day one patch. The download size is nearly 14 GB for this update on PS4. The new additions to Aliens: Fireteam Elite that is mentioned in the patch notes include a Horde mode and other adjustments.
