Update Sizes

Zombie · February 2017

I have ESO installed on both Xbox and PC, but have slow internet speed, so I'm going to have to update Xbox (26gb) overnight. But I'm curious of the update size for PC, since if its smaller I could download and atleast play some today.

Updates for the PC are much smaller. More in the 2GB or so range for the last one. I think the consoles have to download the entire graphics package unlike the PC which can download part of it. Anyway, the Homestead Update for the PC took less than an hour (I was not watching it, I think it was less than 30 minutes).

The game install sizes are only about 2.3 GB larger for Homestead over the previous version on the PC. I am sure that is about the same on the Consoles. It's just the update package has to be so much bigger.

I thought I remembered them being smaller on PC, but wasn't sure. I can download about 2 GB in roughly an hour, so I'm just trying to get an estimate on how long it would take.

It might be that console updates has to be done trough the official PS4 or One system while on pc they can push huge data files in the background for later use, on update day you just download the core files and a 0 day patch.
