Your PS5 might be taking forever to download games if your internet connection is slow. Try using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi to speed things up!

PS5 taking ages to download? Blame your Wi-Fi or maybe PlayStation servers are just having a bad day. Give it some time or try restarting.

If your downloads are crawling, check your internet speed first. A slow connection could be the culprit. Also, try pausing and then resuming the download to give it a kickstart.

From personal experience, the PS5 downloads faster at non-peak times. Try late at night or early morning for better speeds!
