2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

This year saw the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as as a lineup of some of the most stellar games in recent memory. To top it off, some of 2020’s best video game DLC packs brought updates, expansions, and improvements to memorable releases from this year and years past, providing gamers with hours more entertainment, even after they completed their favorite title’s campaign.

2020 was brimming with unexpected DLC releases that took already classic games to new heights and kept games launched as far back as 2014 feeling fresh and new. The way game companies release and iterate over their releases is fundamentally changing, and some developers have begun putting out expansions that would once be considered standalone games.

Monumental releases, like Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima, received additional game modes out of the blue, and long-established titles got facelift treatments that kept them relevant in a year where a plethora of star-studded games ruled players’ attention. Here are the biggest DLC launches 2020 had to offer.

10. 2020’s Best DLC – The Elder Scroll Online: Greymoor

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

Bethesda’s 2014 MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online, continues to stay fresh because of the developer’s constant expansion of its already enormous realm. Greymoor wasn’t as mind-boggling as some of the announcements on this list, but it added a familiar territory from 2011’s Skyrim and a new loot system that encouraged players to explore the area.

Similarly, SEGA and Creative Assembly have released a steady drumbeat of DLC release to 2017 real-time strategy title Total War: Warhammer 2, and The Twisted & The Twilight is a testament to that commitment. The expansion completely reworked a major race in the game, added all-new units, and introduced a light campaign that was more than enough to keep fans hooked.

8. 2020’s Best DLC – Civilization 6: New Frontier Pass

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

Sid Meier’s Civilization 6 is strategy game classic all on its own, but the introduction of New Frontier Pass this year expanded on the game’s already world-class design. The add-on content has steadily introduced new factions, game mechanics, and game modes to load into that have kept the 2016 virtual board game compelling all throughout 2020.

7. 2020’s Best DLC – Borderlands 3: Bounty of Blood

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

Gearbox Software’s third installment to its looter-shooter was a lot of the same as previous releases, but Bounty of Blood is when Borderlands 3 really came to its own. The expansion let players loose on a new planet that blends the American Wild West and feudal Japan into a realm that truly embodies the series’ outrageous nature. The six-hour campaign was a slight departure from the base game’s corny slapstick humor, and with even more gun types thrown into the fray, Bounty of Blood is a essential for anyone who picked up Borderlands 3.

6. 2020’s Best DLC – DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

Id Software’s new installment to the classic shooter series was widely considered the cream of the crop when it comes to FPS titles. The first of DOOM Eternal’s two-part expansion added six to seven hours of playtime (about half of the main game’s length), plus a final boss that felt like a Portal puzzle from the depths of hell. It’s a must-play for anyone who enjoyed DOOM Eternal’s main campaign. Part One slightly edged out the second, in terms of sheer, thrilling mayhem, but the dual DLC release basically doubled the playtime of an already incredible shooter.

5. 2020’s Best DLC – Control: AWE

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

Remedy’s Control was one of those rare franchise debuts that, despite being completely unknown, managed to create a universe that rivaled established series. The Altered World Event expansion continued the title’s trippy narrative and added a horrifying new boss that somehow made one of 2019’s best release even better.

4. 2020’s Best DLC – Pokémon Sword & Shield: The Crown Tundra

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

The release of the most recent Pokémon titles was the most controversial in the Pokémon franchise’s history, but the Crown Tundra DLC rectified many of the gripes fans had after Sword and Shield’s release. The games now boast the largest Pokémon roster ever, including the mysterious Legendary Calyrex and the Legendary steeds, Glastirier and Spectrier. The Crown Tundra also added a new, wintery explorable area, on top of the tropical Isle of Armor expansion that launched in June.

3. 2020’s Best DLC – The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

The Outer Worlds soared where Fallout 76 faltered with the release of Peril on Gorgon DLC bundle. Obsidian introduced yet another stunning environment set on a mysterious asteroid and continued the original title’s strong dedication to narrative. It also increased players’ level cap and added a host of new skills, weapons, and armor. It’s a morsel more of the 2019 RPG that fans fell in love.

2. 2020’s Best DLC – Ghost of Tsushima: Legends

2020s 10 Best DLC Content Releases (On All Platforms)

Sucker Punch’s samurai adventure was one of the most breathtaking single-player games released this year. It struck a nearly perfect balance between captivating world design, satisfyingly twitch combat, and rigorous historical campaign. All it was missing was a multiplayer mode, which is exactly what Ghost of Tsushima: Legends’ co-op DLC delivered. It let players work together to take on supernatural enemies and was a departure from the main story, but it acted as a cherry on top of one of 2020’s most memorable releases.

1. 2020’s Best DLC – Minecraft Steve in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Since its 2018 release, Nintendo has added eight new characters to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster, with the introduction of its Fighters Pass DLC bundles. But the inclusion of Minecraft’s Steve was, by in large, the most surprising and intricate. The pixelated fighter added a host of unique mechanics and stunning animations to the game, including his unique mining and crafting abilities that have never been seen in Nintendo’s platform fighter before. The release showcased just how far the company is willing to go for its fan service.
