Halo 5’s day one patch is 9GB in size

Halo 5: Guardians’ day one patch includes some of the game’s multiplayer maps, resulting in a 9GB download size.

News of this comes from 343’s Josh Holmes, who revealed this size on his Twitter. Whether this is entirely map content, or has some early fixes to the campaign is unknown, just know that you’re gonna have a pretty hefty update to deal with on launch day, on top of the 60GB install size.

Halo 5: Guardians recently went gold and is coming to Xbox One on October 27th.
