This simplifies the patching process, and reduces the download size. When we need to modify a file that is part of a forge, we simply download a new forge that contains the new file without replacing the original forge. This is a compressed archive containing other files. "All game data is stored in what we refer to as a 'forge'.
So, it's like you're downloading a new version of Rainbow Six Siege, rather than an update. "As a result of resetting the baseline, we must replace a significant number of the existing data forges," Ubisoft said. The Y2S3.0 (year two season three) patch is the new baseline Ubisoft will update the game client from.
Why is the update so big? Ubisoft said the patch resets the foundation future patches are built upon.
That's nowhere near as big as the PC download, but it's still huge for a video game patch. If you're playing on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you're looking at a 15GB download. If you're on PC without Ultra HD, it's 26GB. If you're on PC with Ultra HD, the patch is a gargantuan 42GB. In a post on the Rainbow Six website, Ubisoft revealed the size of its upcoming season three patch for the various platforms the game is on. It's not often big publishers warn their customers about the size of an upcoming patch, but that's exactly what Ubisoft has done with Rainbow Six Siege.
