Slow data transfer on your PS5 could be due to a weak Wi-Fi signal. Try connecting via Ethernet for a speed boost.
I found out that my PS5 transferred data slowly because I had too many devices on my network. Disconnect some devices to see if it helps!
Hot take: Your PS5 isn't that slow, you're just impatient. Chill, it'll get there!
