Purchasing a video game is no longer a one-time transaction. Once a person purchases a game, the game may come with DLC, which is an extra feature. DLC stands for downloadable content. It refers to game add-ons that provide additional functionality not included in the game’s initial release. Extra goods, levels, characters, outfits, and more are provided in DLC.

DLC is quite prevalent in modern gaming since more people buy games digitally rather than on physical discs. DLC is available for most significant games from major companies (commonly referred to as AAA titles). DLC also can extend a game’s popularity and revenue potential for years. DLC can be downloaded from the same online shop where the game was purchased or played.
