How do developers do this? Does it just mean the first few levels have been downloaded? What about open world style games? How do they know which bits you will/won’t interact with and what happens if you get to a part that isn’t yet downloaded?
In: Technology
If it’s a brand new game. Even open world. You’re most likely not exploring the entire world right off the get. If it’s level based you don’t need every level. If it has different modes like call of duty. You can play the campaign but not warzone or multiplayer. All depends.
As many others have said not every thing you download has anything to do with the actual game play. Theres graphics files. Theres probably audio and video on there that you may encounter later. There’s unlockables like characters weapons skins. Etc. there are system files that may govern online play or relate to a later add on. Etc.
