Ubisoft skips unreasonable, goes straight to ludicrous
I gather nobody at Ubisoft has Internet caps
I remember not reacting well to Dead Rising 3's 13GB patch for Xbox One. Then came the 15GB Day One patch for the Halo Collection (Which to be fair was smaller than the original promised 20GB).
Ubisoft just jumped straight into ludicrous with the release of their FOURTH PATCH for Assassins Creed Unity coming in at a whopping 40GB. For a patch.
You read that correctly. Forty Gigabytes for the Xbox One's Assassins Creed Unity fourth patch. I guess if they ship such a broken game extreme steps are required.
For some users, this is not effecting everyone. Some are only seeing the planned 6.7GB patch which is still bad but not ludicrous.
And excerpt from Ubisoft's Patch 4 Release Notes is available after the break.
- We have received and confirmed reports that some Xbox One players who have previously applied Patch 3 are seeing a 40GB download instead of the expected 6.7GB download. Unfortunately, an issue with the patch downloading process is replacing the entire game instead of just the parts affected by the patch. This is obviously not the expected behavior, and we apologize that many of you will have to wait longer than expected to complete this download. This issue isn’t causing any other problems and once the download is completed players will have the most-up-to-date and fully patched version of Assassin’s Creed Unity.
Read the entire update at Ubisoft's site if you choose.
40GB. And we wondered why SeanMCR's hard drive was filling up so quickly.

Except for those people whose internet bandwidth cap is 40GB.
more worrying is how freaky boring Unity is.
For the record, it's not 40GB, it's been confirmed as a display bug. It's only 6.7GB, but still...it's completely replacing the entire game install.
So clearly, that game shouldn't have left Beta.
Some is corporate speak for most.
From Kotaku: UPDATE 2: 10:34pm Ubisoft has confirmed that the 40GB download is for real. It's not a display error. They posted the following on their official site.
The Official Site is also quoted in my story but I decided to double check after your post,
Kotaku also has this note (before Update 2): And I've seen Ubisoft officials mention on Reddit and on the game's official forums that this might be a display error.
So while a lot of people discussed it as a display error it has been confirmed as a full 40GB download.
Say good-bye to your download caps.
