How do I install DLC on a modded Xbox 360?

Place the DLC STFS package inside Content/0000000000000000/ / / on your USB drive or HDD. The console will detect it automatically when you launch the game.

How do I install DLC in Xenia?

In Xenia, place the DLC STFS file inside the Content folder within your Xenia data directory, mirroring the same folder structure used on a real console.

What is a title update on Xbox 360?

A title update (TU) is a patch package in STFS format. It fixes bugs, adds features, or changes balance. The console applies it automatically when launching the game if it's installed.

How DLC Works on Xbox 360

Xbox 360 DLC packs, title updates, and marketplace add-ons all use the same STFS container format. This guide explains how they're stored, installed, and loaded — on both real modded hardware and in Xenia.

The STFS Container

All Xbox 360 downloadable content — DLC, title updates, avatar items, themes — is packaged as STFS (Secure Transacted File System) containers. They look like ordinary files (usually no extension) and are placed inside a specific Content/ directory structure keyed by Title ID and content type.

Content Type Codes

Each sub-folder under a Title ID represents a content type:

00007000 — Full game (GOD)
000B0000 — Title update (TU / patch)
00000002 — DLC / marketplace content
00040000 — Theme
00008000 — Xbox Live Arcade game

Folder Structure — Real Hardware

USB Drive (FAT32) or HDD:
Content/
  0000000000000000/     ← offline / no-licence account
    4D5307E6/           ← Title ID (e.g. Halo 3)
      000B0000/         ← Title update
        <TU package>
      00000002/         ← DLC
        <DLC package 1>
        <DLC package 2>

The console scans this structure on startup and when a game is launched. Updates are applied automatically; DLC is registered and appears in-game menus.

Installing DLC on a Modded Console

Download the DLC STFS package from xbx.place (open the game page and look for DLC entries).
Find the Title ID for the game — visible on the xbx.place game page or in the file metadata.
On your USB drive or HDD, create the path:
Content/0000000000000000/<TitleID>/00000002/
Place the DLC file (no extension) inside that folder.
Safely eject and plug the drive into your modded Xbox 360.
Launch the game — DLC should appear automatically in the in-game store or content menu.

Installing Title Updates on a Modded Console

Download the title update package from xbx.place.
Create the path: Content/0000000000000000/<TitleID>/000B0000/
Place the update file inside that folder.
Launch the game — the update is applied automatically before the title loads.

Tip: Only one title update can be active at a time per title. If you place multiple TU files, the console uses the one with the highest version number.

000B0000 title updates 00000002 DLC packages One TU active at a time

Installing DLC in Xenia

Xenia uses the same Content/ folder structure. By default, look for (or create) a content/ folder inside the Xenia directory:

xenia/
  content/
    <TitleID>/
      00000002/
        <DLC file>
      000B0000/
        <TU file>

Restart Xenia or relaunch the game after placing files. Not all DLC is compatible with every Xenia build — check the Xenia compatibility notes for that title.

Finding DLC on xbx.place

Every game page on xbx.place lists linked DLC and title updates below the main download. You can also browse the DLC catalog to search across all add-on content. Each DLC entry shows the content type, file size, and a download link.

FAQ

Does DLC require an Xbox Live account on a modded console?: Using the 0000000000000000 account folder bypasses licence checks, so no Xbox Live account is required on a JTAG/RGH console.
Can I use DLC with a disc copy of a game?: Yes — as long as the Title ID matches, DLC stored on the USB or HDD will be detected regardless of whether the game itself is a disc or a GOD install.
Why isn't my DLC showing up in-game?: Double-check the folder path and Title ID. Some DLC requires the base game to be at a specific title update version. Installing the correct TU first usually fixes this.
