Cloud streaming a game while downloading at the same time seems like an awful idea lol.

Doesn't take much bandwidth for average internet speeds these days. Seems pretty good though since you'll be able to pick up right where you left off whenever an update is done.

But also, how many games have such massive updates that this would even be required? lol

It's not so much not having enough bandwidth, in my experience with cloud streaming if you're doing other internet things on the same device it will cause issues.

I can run a 75mbit GFN cloud stream no problem, but if I'm watching a twitch stream or youtube on the same device at the same time, even if I drop GFN quality to 20mbit or less it'll still cause stability issues. Multiple data streams at the same time just causes problems for me.

If the update really is so big it'd take too long to wait and you have to play now i'd just cloud stream and then start downloading the update when you finish playing.
