Expansion pack definition: Game content which can extend the percentage of playtime substantially. Including and not limited to: large story campaigns, a large number of new maps or levels, expanded gameplay, etc. In pre-digital distribution age, expansion packs were separate boxed products that may or may not require the original game to install and run. As a rule of thumb we would consider DLCs or bundles of DLCs in packs that extend the main game's playtime 'substantially' or by 40% or more.

Examples:

  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown's expansion is XCOM: Enemy Within, which substantially adds new content and gameplay mechanics.
  • Borderlands 3's multiple DLCs contain substantial new campaigns which are each individually large enough to constitute an expansion pack.
