| Unreal Fusion Map Pack | Available for free. See Bonus Content. | |
The DLC table displays all official expansions/Downloadable content (DLC) for a game (content included with a patch does NOT count). The layout is very similar to the Availability table, but not as complicated.
Soundtracks are not to be listed, unless they also include some form of in-game content. They may however still be listed in the infobox under steam appid side.
DLC row breakdown
| Section | Definition | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | The name of the expansion/DLC. | Follow the naming conventions as set below. |
| Notes | Extra information relating to the particular DLC (pricing, bundle inclusion, etc.) | |

Layout and naming conventions
Due to the countless types of DLC available, a DLC table can quickly become confusing if not formatted properly.
The following conventions should be used for all DLC tables:
Naming
- Retail expansions (i.e. had a physical release) should have the full name used.
- Ex. Unreal Mission Pack 1: Return to Na Pali
- Digital expansions and addons (DLC) should have only have the sub-name used.
- Ex.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II - RevolutionbecomesRevolution
- Ex.
Layout
- All entries should be listed from the oldest to the newest.
- In the event of multiple expansion/DLC types, the following format should take priority over the previous rule
- Season Pass
- Pre-order DLC
- Physical expansions
- Digital expansions
- Meta-game DLC (ex. Extra Weapons Slots)
- New characters (with other content)
- New weapons
- Other customization content (not a skin)
- New characters (no extra content)
- Character/weapon skins
- Everything else
