What is DLC in Steam
DLC, or Downloadable Content, is additional content that can be downloaded for a video game, either for free or for a fee. DLC can include new levels, weapons, characters, vehicles, or other features that can enhance or extend the gameplay of a game. It is typically released by the game's developer or publisher and can be downloaded and installed through the Steam client.
