There have been some amazing candidates over the years!

Even though it’s not actually out yet, news is doing the rounds that Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is now the highest-rated DLC of all time according to Metacritic (thanks, VGC), and that’s got us thinking about some of the amazing expansions that have come to Xbox over the years.
Our immediate thoughts go back to the Xbox 360 era, which was a time when major game expansions really began to take off on console. We had BioShock 2‘s Minerva’s Den, we had Red Dead Redemption‘s Undead Nightmare and Gears of War 3‘s Raam’s Shadow back then – just to name a few!
These were all great experiences and fitting add-ons to some of Xbox 360’s biggest titles, but you could easily look at some more modern releases here as well. The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine still gets talked about as one of the best DLCs ever to come to Xbox – although Shadow of the Erdtree might be about to knock the CDPR expansion off its perch.
Then, you’ve got some of the smaller map packs and DLC drops that have occurred on Xbox over the years. We used to absolutely love it when the team at Treyarch would launch a brand-new Black Ops pack with a fresh Call of Duty Zombies experience packed in. Ahh, those were the days!
So, having namedropped a bunch of major add-on packs here, we want to know what your favourite ever Xbox expansion is. It doesn’t matter which generation it launched in, or which game it added to, we just want to know your absolute favourite Xbox DLC – single or multiplayer!
If you’re a little bit younger and are used to playing your live service games with free updates these days, you can always tell us about one of those instead! We know there have been some pretty hefty content drops added to some of these games in recent years, so those are still totally valid as a ‘favourite DLC’ on Xbox.
Well, which would you choose? A DLC we’ve mentioned or a completely different pick? Comment down below and tell us your favourite!
