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

Question

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.

The disc holds version 1.0 of the game. New updates are downloaded and stored on the console itself. That’s why they have hard drives (or SSDs for the new ones).
