Expansion pack
|
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. |
- 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
|
- As a rule of thumb PCGamingWiki considers individual DLCs or bundles of DLCs in packs that extend the playtime of the main game 'substantially' or by 40% or more as appropriate for this category.
- In pre-digital distribution age, expansion packs were separate boxed products that may or may not require the original game to install and run.
