Far Cry Primal is due to release on PS4, Xbox One this Tuesday (February 23rd, March for PC) but we’ve managed to snag a copy a bit earlier than most folks.
As such, we’re able to tell you that Far Cry Primal receives a day one update that’ll run you around 591.6 MB on the PS4, though we’re not entirely sure of the Xbox One’s day one update, we can guess it’ll be a similar size with similar content.
So, what does the day one update do? The answer: lots.
Here’s the patch notes:
