Just switch to another platform, dude. Steam's slow updates are a buzzkill.

Patching takes forever on Steam for a few reasons, pal! First up, your internet speed plays a huge part. If it鈥檚 slower than a turtle, well, snail mail might be faster. Then, there鈥檚 the game size. Updating a massive game? Grab some popcorn. Also, Steam servers get crammed faster than a subway at rush hour, especially during big updates or sales. Lastly, check if your gear is running other heavy tasks; it's like trying to sprint with weights on.
Steam's patching isn't that slow if you manage your settings right. Throttle back on the bandwidth usage for other stuff, and make sure Steam has the priority. Worked wonders for me.
I've noticed patches take ages when everyone jumps on at the same time. Tried updating at odd hours, and it's like having the express lane all to myself!
