Checking for Updates

While most modern gaming platforms automatically manage game updates, it's always a good idea to know how to manually check, especially if you suspect an issue or want to ensure you're on the very latest version.

    5. Go to the "Updates" tab. Here you can see your update preferences (e.g., "Always keep this game updated"). If an update is available and hasn't downloaded, it will usually show up here or begin downloading automatically.
