how do game patches work?

229 views

Let’s say a game file size is 500MB. If there is a 100MB patch, does the file size go to 600MB? Or does it patch what’s needs and deletes the old files?

Diff patch is a way to go for certain games or files, other requiere to delete old file and replace with new, for example

a EXE file that need a few tweaks can be patched with a Diff patcher justa few bytes

but a graphic, media or bug files are deleted for a new one or added.
