REQUIRES TITANFALL FOR XBOX ONE, XBOX 360 AND XBOX LIVE GOLD, BOTH SOLD SEPARATELY.

Titanfall will have an 840MB day one update on the Xbox One according to someone that has a retail copy of the game. There is likely a similar update for the Xbox 360 and PC. The digital copy of the game will already be pre-patched and won't require an additional download.

The dev team received these XB1s:

This isn't really a complaint, more just an observation (as it usually only takes a couple of minutes, tops): is there a damn disc-based game that comes out today that doesn't require a day 1 patch?

Looking forward to Tuesday. BF4 is nearly unplayable for me now.

I think we have seen that developers use the fallback of the vast majority of consumers having broadband at their homes as a stop gap to keep to their published launch dates. If this were 5 years ago, the game would have just been pushed out a week or 2. Now they get the game to a certain point, it is time to make it gold and send off for replication and distribution to keep that launch date the corporate people mandated. It gives them a couple of precious weeks to make last minute bug fixes and package them as a day 1 update.

The best part of all of that, is that a lot (maybe even the majority?) of games STILL come out with a litany of bugs (and some games still come out just straight up broken - BF4 anyone?).

I guess that it's a good thing, because some of these games would likely be unplayable if they didn't have that day 1 patch.

Received an email from EA earlier, Titanfall should be here in the morning before 10:30AM central. I will be streaming the game on our Twitch channel as soon as the embargo lifts around 11AM central provided the game is delivered on time.
