This means “DLC”: Downloadable Content
The abbreviation “DLC” comes from the gaming language and stands for the English expression “Downloadable Content”. Translated into German, this means “downloadable content” and means extensions for video games, which can usually be obtained for a fee.
These DLCs often only appear weeks after the release of a game and cost between 2 and 40 euros. These extra costs have been criticized because some games alone cost more than 60 euros and the DLCs can be seen as a good money maker in this case.
