Top 10 DLCs of All Time

Examples of DLCs that are NOT cynical cash-grabs are few and far between. These rare gems can significantly expand upon and improve the base game. GameLuster's Nirav Gandhi highlights the top ten DLCs of all time. Publishers take note - these are DLCs done right.

[RaidenBlack]

My favorite DLC list would be:

10) Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
9) Assassin's Creed IV: Freedom Cry
8) Destiny: The Taken King
7) Fallout 4: Far Harbor
6) Fallout New Vegas: Lonesome Road
5) The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard
4) The Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles
3) The Last of Us: Left Behind
2) Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
1) The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

Honorable) Mass Effect 3: Citadel, The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone, FarCry 3: Blood Dragon, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
Also) Fallout 76: Wastelanders (Actually brings some sense to the game) (Should be a standalone offline title)

[Ricegum]

Not a single Borderlands DLC on there. For shame.

[RaidenBlack]

Actually I missed out :-
GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Infamous First Light
Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds

Where’s Big surf island from Burnout Paradise? And all the extras.
GTA4’s dlc was one of the best ever
Undead nightmare was brilliant My 3 favourites off top of my head great value and great content

[toxic-inferno]

Big Surf Island hadn't even crossed my mind!

I know there are plenty of good examples of how to do good DLC (and that Burnout Paradise isn't the most popular in the series amongst fans), but I remember being blown away by the way that Criterion supported Burnout Paradise. The game grew so much since its original release.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah majority for free as well the island would have been free from what I heard but EA wanted to charge luckily wasn’t too expensive and got time money’s worth. Really enjoyed that game and all the content. A Delorean is always gonna be a winner for me 😂✌🏻

[RosweeSon]

Prey Dlc is currently £6.49 on PSN 59% off think I’ll grab that now haha.

[ifrit_caress]

Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 DLC was great, Horizon: Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds DLC was good.

[RosweeSon]

I’ve not got round to the frozen wilds yet I need to soon really enjoyed the base game

[MoonConquistador]

An excellent addition to the game, well worth it.

[Tacoboto]

Not even an honorable mention for Frozen Wilds, shame. Damn that expansion felt and even looked better (artistically - those hot springs!) than the base game.

[pwnmaster3000]

Bloodborne

[toxic-inferno]

Yes, the Old Hunters was fantastic - incredible how much they managed to expand the lore of the game, while creating a short, yet incredibly rich, genuine Bloodborne experience. In a way, it's a shame it didn't receive more DLC, but to have such a successful game and follow-up DLC is so rare that we probably shouldn't complain!

[pwnmaster3000]

With the amount of fans bloodborne has, I am very surprise they haven’t made a sequel or more DLC. I’m hoping for a sequel for the PS5.
If Sony let’s this franchise die then it will be a major loss to me.

[UltraNova]

Pwnmaster,

It's not up to Sony entirely, is it? From Software is busy with Elden Ring so I wouldn't hold my breath for BB 2 anytime soon.

[pwnmaster3000]

@Ultra
I could of sworn Sony own the IP.
Was thinking they can push it or something

[toxic-inferno]

The franchise is showing no sign of dying yet - they keep bringing out more and more merchandise for it all the time!

[IMissJimRyan]

It's almost the best DLCs from last 10 or 12 years.

Expansions from 90s and early 2000s for PC games were crazy value.

[MoonConquistador]

Driveclub is worth a mention just for the sheer amount of additional stuff I got for a half price season pass.

The batman Arkham series had some great DLC too.

[monkey602]

Hardly worth mentioning now since it's been pulled from the store anyway

[RosweeSon]

Yeah there reslly was a lot of content for that and pretty good value like you also grabbed it in a sale.

[Z501]

Bloodborne The Old Hunters

[Kabaneri]

The Ballad of Gay Tony from GTA4 was excellent.

[chicken_in_the_corn]

I've always preferred The Lost and Damned

[capjacksparrow]

Can’t have a top ten DLC list without Minerva’s Den from Bioshock 2. That shit was awesome.

[GusBricker]

Agreed. It was better than Bioshock 2, imo.

[gammaray13]

they forgot Bloodborne DLC

[hayden3]

My list is like;
Witcher 3 hearts of stone
Witcher 3 blood and wine
Dark souls artorias of the abyss
Dark souls 3 ringed city
Bloodborne the old hunters
Dragon age origins awakening
Last of us left behind..

[Iamnothuman12]

Shout out to Tiny Tina's assualt on dragon's keep.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Most RPGs dlc isn't bad as long as it is the story driven dlc.

[SonyStyled]

I liked Left Behind from TLoU, but it was mostly removed content from mid-game because it threw off the “pace” ND said. So we got the one level mid game playing as Ellie instead of a few. I kind of wish there was the option to put the DLC in chronological order with the main story. These are the snowy levels in the dlc

[Soy]

Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker
Mass Effect 3: Citadel
Fallout 3: Broken Steel
Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary

[gums007]

Lol, you picked the worse dlc in the whole borderlands franchise. Are you high?

[Soy]

It was free and I enjoyed it - how dare I.

[Pughski]

This was actually a great list
