Gearbox Software’s Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is now available worldwide on PS4 and Xbox One and it comes with some very large day one patches on both consoles.
The PS4 version requires an 8.31 GB patch while the Xbox One version needs 16 GB. That’s right, 16 GB. Why the large size for both patches? This is ultimately due to the addition of Claptastic Voyage and Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2, two DLC pieces for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel which have just been finished.
As Gearbox stated, “This update will also address various bugs. Although the update is large (as it’s adding an entire and brand new add-on campaign), we strongly recommend that all players download it before playing The Handsome Collection.”
Why is Xbox One’s update larger? Because it’s also adding 3 GB of Borderlands 2 data on top of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel content. What are your thoughts on either version’s update though? Let us know in the comments and check out the patch notes for the PS4 and Xbox One.
