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.

That was the case back before internet-connected consoles were a thing.

Nowadays, the disc holds the base game. When you install the base game, your console checks the game’s version and list of installed files against the game’s server, and downloads anything it happens to be missing.
