    Download Time


    So I bought GTA V on the 50% off sale today. I started downloading around 1:30pm central US/Canaidian time. After about 5 hours of downloading the 7+ gigs of game, i find that there is more.

    I read somewhere that this game takes like 16 gigs of space. When i saw the 7 or so gigs when it started i figured that was wrong. Well i was wrong lol. Here comes 4 other packs i need to play the game after i finish the initial download. The first one it
    started downloading is like 1.6 gigs and I assume the others are about the same...

    Question is, about how long will this take? And after I'm done with those 4 packs, is there more to download?

    Note: I have about 70 gigs free on my HD, so this will not be a problem in terms of size...

    :)

    Peppy disconnect your Xbox One from live and install off of the disc. After that is done then and only then re connect to live and let it update. The update and install are working against each other that is why it is taking so long.

    It should take nowhere near 7 hours for the game to take that long to download it may be because of the XBL servers or your connection. But the reason it takes so much space its because of the game plus all of the GTA Online title updates. Right now my disc
    copy takes up 8.2 GB so you should have no problem since you have 70 GB.

    Greetings VirulentBear5,

    'Normal' for downloading on Xbox LIVE is subjective. It all depends what your Internet speed is from your provider and what you are trying to download. Could you run
    this speed test, post back your results and tell us what it is you are trying to download? Thanks.

    From what I've experienced you can't play a game online while it's updating on the Xb1 and frankly I can't stand this. So sure the offline/Disc thing is quicker though the moment you're back online the "Needs an Update" nag will come on and basically not
    let you play until that's done. Would be nice if you instead got the message reading "would you like to play while updating" though I guess this isn't an option coming to the ms console any time soon with the fragments of "always online" still affecting us.
    No biggie really, just annoying since this isn't a multi platform problem.

    Average install, time from disc is between 20 to 45 minutes with my console connected (wired). On 150Mb Fibreoptic. The disconnect trick works apparently but I've never had to use it.

    The fastest way to install a new game if you have it on disc is to disconnect from the internet.

    Let it load completely.

    Then reconnect to the internet and open the game.

    This will then prompt it to download any updates.

    I find if I just play something else for a little bit the updates are done before I even think to check on them.

    The problem with comparing to Xbox 36 games is the massive difference is size.

    On Xbox 360, game downloads were usually 5-8GB for a big game. CoD: AW is 45GB or so.

    There have also been widespread issues with everyone's downloads for this game being slow, which certainly does not help.

    It very much depends on your download speed too (and the massive increase in size between Xbox 360 and Xbox One) but your future downloads should be faster than Advanced Warfare, which has been affected by some issues.
