Digital Download Times

I just recently bought a digital game from the xbox store. THE GAME TOOK 4 DAYS TO DOWNLOAD. That is ridiculous, why even buy a game if I have to wait 4 days to even get it to start, and this was even after I cut the wifi to every other device in my house.
Xbox has really dropped the ball on this one. Is there anyone out there that knows how to minimize download times for digital games, Hell even to just get 24hrs instead of 4 days would be nice. PLEASE HELP!!!!

:)

 

Digital Download Times

Depends on your internet speed and how the traffic on the server is moving - if you're downloading a popular game at rush hour, you're gonna have a bad time.

As for my experience, those kind of sizes take me about 4 1/2 / 5 hours, roughly. Could be less, too.

My download times have hugely improved since launch, can download a full game in under 3 hours.

 

Hi there,

there are many variables that will determine the max download speed, in quite a few cases the download speed is determined by the ISP and the subscription you have with them, that usually has a maximum download speed, so it might be best to try and find
out what that is for your situation. The network devices in your network could also be a limitation on the maximum download speed you can reach.

Games these days are also quite large (on any current generation console) so that will take time.

See this link for some steps regarding download speed and what to check and what options might be available: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/troubleshoot-slow-game-or-app-downloads-on-xbox-o...

 

Hi!

It depends on the speed of the internet connection not from the game. With a large size and low speed it takes a lot of time to download. Check the speed of your internet line to see if there are any issues.

 

Just to add, if you're hooked up wirelessly, try hooking it up wired to try to boost the speed as well.
