Not really. The download speed mainly depends on your internet connection.
Yes! Putting your PS4 in Rest Mode can indeed help downloads speed up. It reduces the console's background activity, allowing it to focus more on downloading. Plus, you can leave it overnight and wake up to your downloaded game!
Totally! Rest Mode minimizes the system's power consumption and background processes, making the download go faster. Just make sure automatic updates are on.
