Why does PlayStation download so slow?
Your PlayStation downloading at a snail's pace? Try switching to a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. It's like putting your console on the information superhighway!

Hot take: Sony's servers aren't built for speed! Try downloading games during off-peak hours.
Sometimes the PSN (PlayStation Network) servers get busy, especially during big game releases or updates. Patience, young padawan.
My PS4 used to crawl with download speeds until I changed the DNS settings. Use Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or another fast DNS provider.
Make sure your router isn't playing hide and seek with your console. Position them as close together as possible for better speeds.
