The update asked for permissions to Photos and Media on the device. Quite upset about this as there is no reason that this should be needed.
It's not for photos & media SPECIFICALLY - that's just the way Google now groups permissions.
The new permissions are to read & write data to your external memory (eg. SD memory card). That could be so you can move the app across to the external memory, or so that it can save your game data on there instead of on the phone itself.
A while back Google changed Android's security on external memory so that an app can only see their own data on it, not the whole of the external memory's data. That meant wiping all the permissions for that, and apps have to re-apply for permission to access/save to your external memory.
If you want to see what specific permissions an app now wants, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to "Permission Details".
