Ps5 pro dowload time

[Reykc9510]

I have my download/upload set to 100%

Its taken an hr to download a 47 gb game, is this normal for 2 gig fiber service?

Keep in mind through the R3 you're limited to 1Gbps but no it should be faster than that but it's impossible to say why that might have occurred with the information provided. Were other devices using the internet at the time etc

I have my upload/download set to 100% what other information do I need to provide to help with this? Yes I have other things hooked up to R3 but the ps5 pro is hardwired also

@Reykc9510PlayStation servers are horrible when it comes to downloading files; there are typically limited to 100-300mbs you might get lucky on others, but it’s like roulette; just wait till GTA 6 releases, and you'll see their servers crashing. In comparison, on a PC, you can choose where you’re downloading the files, and they'll use full throughput.

Try going into downloads, hit pause all. Then resume download. This sometimes switching my ps5 and Xbox from downloading slowly to downloading at higher speeds.

So even if its a physical copy still gonna be the same?

Well now we know that you're referring to a PS5 downloading when putting in a disc, the more information the better. If you do speedtest.net and get expected speeds then it's more likely the write speed of the console is the issue - it won't necessarily download faster than it can write it. If the storage is quite full then that could slow it down.

I was just asking if it be faster or slower with a disc. This particular post it was a digital download.

It’s the all-digital world they’ve been aiming towards: physical discs that are just digital downloads. You should’ve seen that coming when they started doing that about 2-3 years ago. So no, having a physical disc is not speeding up your download; you either stick to their platform and keep paying subscription fees or move on to the better side when you can afford it because seeing the next gen, it’s going to be at least 1k MSRP, and if you live outside the US, it's probably around 1.3k and that's not including subscription and games.

Si vous voulez optimiser vos téléchargements de jeux pour obtenir les vitesses max de votre ligne :

- Privilégiez les heures en dehors des connexions de masse ( Votre FAI partage votre ligne entre plusieurs abonnés)... débits limités

-Désactivez SmartBoost lors du téléchargement, un SSD peut facilement télécharger proche de la limite du R3 (PS5)

-Comme dit précédemment, les serveurs de téléchargement sont souvent saturés car tout le monde fait sa mise à jour donc 1h c'est bien...

Avec une XBOX série S derrière le R3 (SmartBoost off)

Avec SmartBoost (Xbox DL priorisé )

What better side? Being able to afford it , never been an issue i just like playing on console. You referring to cpu gaming?

[Krush]

Cela n'aura aucune incidence ...au niveau du téléchargement !

Un SSD avec la meilleur Lecture sera toujours plus performant pour le jeu en ligne ... Console/PC.

On physical vs digital:

If you go out and buy a game on disc, you’re buying the shipped version. Even if the disc holds all the game data, you’d still have to download any day-one patches from PSN to bring it up to the current version. Depending on how many there are, that could be anywhere from 1 to 10GB. I think RDR2 in 2023 made me download about 10GB of updates (I may be wrong on the figure), whereas digitally it would have been a 90–100GB download.

If what you’re asking is whether putting a disc in the PS5 gets you faster downloads than buying digitally — unlikely. Any download, whether that’s the game itself, DLC or a post-launch patch, comes from the same place: Sony/CDN Servers.

If you run the Speedtest on PlayStation’s “Test Internet Connection” page, what speeds are you getting?

Also on network speeds in Duma os what have you entered?
