    Reinstalling WCMLoS on XBOX Series S this morning, and noticed the file download size has been reduced from 19.9GB to 11.3GB.

    Probably happened in the last update, but I haven't played TSW5 for a few weeks.

    Some kind of effort by DTG to remove bloat or reduce asset texture quality?
    Possible attempt to improve route performance, or something?

    Any chance you could have had some shared files etc left over from the previous installation?

    Nope, it's a reformatted 4TB external SSD.

    Totally clean.

    Strange. Dlc's normally grow in size as time goes by, not getting reduced. What's it look like, I mean is there any noticeable difference in textures etc?

    I don't know what this specific reduction is all about, but on Series S any change is usually a bad sign. We already had layers removed from Shap, and it looks like layers were just removed from WCML South as well with no warning, acknowledgement, or explanation. This game is not in a good state and things keep getting removed that people have already paid for. My advice is to be very careful.
