How do video game companies add new content to their game after a game has been released?

How are they able to add new items to games once they have been released? I thought they had to store everything on the disc. I’m confused how it all works.

You’re obviously way out of date. You don’t even need a physical disc anymore. You can download the game (as in the base game… version 1) from the internet and have been able to for a long time.

So when you buy extra content it’s just added to the game’s library. It may overwrite existing files or just add new files or a combination of both. The game then loads these up when it plays.
