One is a console upgrade, the other possibly a “day one” patch

As we prepare to conclude the working week here at Pure Xbox, we wanted to inform you about a few recent updates that have been rolled out – one for Xbox consoles in general, and another particularly for GTA 6.
The Xbox console upgrade was actually released on Wednesday, but no one made a fuss about it at all, while the patch notes merely indicated “general stability and performance enhancements”.
Nevertheless, we now understand that the update pertained to the introduction of achievements in four original Xbox titles, and if you don’t download the update, you won’t be able to access those achievements at this moment.
Your console might have downloaded this automatically, but to verify, head to “Settings”, “System”, “Updates” and check if there’s an update awaiting download or not.
Here’s a video demonstration on how to do it:
Concerning GTA 6, in addition to the 200GB+ preload that became available a few days prior, there’s also a new update that surfaced a few hours ago, approximately 2.2GB in size. You must download this to begin playing on November 19th.
Some individuals speculate that this could be the so-called “day one patch”, but it’s uncertain whether another one might be released before next Thursday. In any event, you’ll want to prioritize getting this queued up as soon as possible (unless you haven’t set up the game yet, in which case it’ll be included in your initial download).
There’s a possibility you might see a different size, but it hovers around that 2.2GB range. We’re also noticing that some users haven’t received it yet for various reasons, but it should be made available to all Xbox players shortly.
