DLC, or Downloadable Content, refers to additional content that can be downloaded for video games after their initial release. This content can include new levels, characters, skins, or storylines, enhancing the gaming experience. Players often purchase DLC to access new features or to extend the life of their favorite games. Many popular games, like The Sims or Call of Duty, offer various DLC packs that cater to different interests. Some DLC is free, while others require payment. By providing this extra content, game developers keep players engaged and excited about their games long after the original launch.
