   Ace Combat 8 Steam Reviewers Angry Over Zero Pre-Order Bonus Not Being a Standalone App

   Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve's pre-order bonus, Ace Combat Zero, runs as a DLC executable rather than the standalone app the Steam store page once promised, drawing negative reviews. Players must install 140GB of data to play the 3GB 2006 game, and the Steam version lacks the console version's achievements and separate cloud saves. Among nearly 1,000 negative reviews, the bait-and-switch over the bonus is a common complaint.

   Ace Combat 8 pre-order bonus The Belkan War becomes DLC on Steam, sparking controversy

   Early access to Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is available for Deluxe Edition owners, but the pre-order bonus Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is now a DLC requiring the base game on Steam, while it remains a standalone app on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The Steam description was changed to state the base game must be installed, forcing players to download roughly 135GB to run a port under 4GB, and preventing standalone play on Steam Deck. Ace Combat 8 currently has a Mixed rating on Steam from over 1,350 reviews ahead of its October 2 release, and Eurogamer has contacted Bandai Namco for comment.
