    Then you can't get it, because you need to have the DLC (map pack) for it to work.

  • Question

    The game said it included the bonus map "Nuketown", but then again I can't connect to Xbox Live. Also, it's pre-owned. Does that mean Nuketown is for multiplayer too?

    Yes, but it will be zombies only. So, you need Wi-Fi to play with friends. And you need the season pass if you want more stuff.

  • Question

    I was able to download and install it on my Xbox One but I can't find it anywhere in game. Does it run on Xbox one? I can't find the answer anywhere.

    Community Answer

    No, it doesn't. However, do you have an Xbox 360? if so, try there and then it should work, provided you downloaded it.

  • Question

    Can you get to Nuketown for free?

    Community Answer

    No, sadly you cannot. As at the time of answering this question, it is $4.99, so you can get it you have a credit card.

  • Question

    What about the Xbox one? I can't download it for some reason.

    Community Answer

    That is most likely because you need the Xbox one disc. If you are trying to use backwards compatibility, you need Wi-Fi to get Nuketown.
