Ps4 takes forever to download games






















Find the download that's stalling, then select it and choose Pause. After a moment, choose it again and click Resume. After it gets going again, you should see better performance in the download.

While you're here, if there are multiple downloads running, you should pause all but the most important to prioritize it. If you use a wireless connection to use your PS4 online, there's potential for interference, which will slow your downloads. The further away your system is from the router, the less reliable the signal is. Plus, the original model of PS4 is only compatible with 2.

Follow our guide to fixing PS4 Wi-Fi issues for tips on this. If possible, use an Ethernet cable to get your system online instead. Not only will this be more reliable, but you'll experience faster speeds too.

Your home network only has so much bandwidth to share between all of your devices. If you're downloading a huge file on your computer, streaming 4K video on your TV, or taking similar network-heavy actions, your PS4 download speeds will suffer.

Thus, you should try to limit using bandwidth on other devices when you want a PS4 download to complete quickly. This may or may not have an effect for you, but it's worth a try. Select the Custom option, choose your current network if you're connecting via Wi-Fi, and type the password if needed. Since you chose Custom , you'll be prompted to select a number of network options.

A good general choice is Google's public DNS; use 8. For alternatives, we've looked at other great DNS servers you can try instead. I'm just here to let you know that, if you fall into the camp I've been stuck in for years -- every fix you come across not working -- this one actually works. That's it. After literal years of intermittent Googling and tinkering with my router and internet settings, this solution actually worked.

Downloading Mass Effect: Andromeda's 1. It's worth noting that, for as long as your PSN internet connection is set up like this, it can only connect to the internet via your proxy. So, since I've never had a problem with actual ping or lag when playing online only having the speed problems when downloading , I simply turn off the proxy after a large download has completed and reconfigure my PS4's internet connection back to my router.

I don't download large files too often on the PSN, but if you do, it's up to you to decide if you want to switch between your proxy or not. If you're wondering why this works, Redditor tibiazak explains it well. Does putting the machine to rest help? Why are my downloads faster after this firmware update?

Snellman attributes the latter to an update closing every open application after the system reboot. And Snellman posits that there are legitimate reasons for limiting the receive window. But that doesn't excuse the limitations enforced by secondary apps like Netflix, he argues. And since they can keep running with the user unaware, here you have the problem.

That is as close to a layman's explanation as I can make of some very intricate networking terms and concepts. I recommend reading the whole thing for yourself to get a better understanding. It makes no guarantees that it has the answers, but at least you'll come away from it knowing that you aren't crazy: PS4 download times do suck.

We tested Assassin's Creed IV on two different Xbox Ones, and had the same issue, resulting in standing in that beautiful Animus loading void while it installed the last bits of singleplayer content required to start the story.

Although in that case it only required a couple of extra minutes to get those modes. Unlike Madden, the full disc didn't need to be installed. On both consoles, the game has a timer or progress meter in the main menu telling you the progress of the full install.

So at least you aren't left blindly guessing when you'll be able to play. Since all of the games we were testing required an update, we factored this into our times. On the PS4, they happened in the background and didn't affect our ability to install or begin the game, while on Xbox One, the installation from disc wouldn't begin until after the update finished.

I was using an Xbox One connected via Wi-Fi, getting about Mbps download speed, so we ran a test with another Xbox on a faster internet connection installing Assassin's Creed IV to see how much of a difference that could make in downloading the update.

To give you an idea of the time difference the MB updates added, we tested installing Assassin's Creed IV on two consoles with the internet disconnected. Even though having the PS4 plugged into the Xbox shouldn't affect anything, we only did that for the video].

The rest of these were tested on our office Wi-Fi which is around Mbps. It may have been faster on a wired connection, but you can compare your own connection speed here.
