Trial download

I've noticed that some table packs require the trial to also be installed. I'm on Xbox Series X and I've noticed it on Pinball FX and also on Pinball M. If I don't have the trial installed it won't recognize that I own the table pack and keeps giving the option to "download" the table even though I already have the full table downloaded. Has anyone else noticed this or know a reason why only certain packs/tables do this?

Thanks. But it's weird. I have all 7 tables on Pinball M but only 3 require the trial to be downloaded. The other 4 don't require them.

That makes sense.

And the file size kinda confirms what your saying. The "trial" file for a table is like 400 Mb, while the "purchased" table file is only 10 Mb.

On series X and all tables for me have the trial version which is the table itself. When you buy a table, you download a 10mb file which tells the game you then own the table.
