    Gamepass Windows Extremely Slow Download Speeds


    Why are Gamepass download speeds so slow? On the same computer, the same network, using ethernet I can reach beyond 15 MB/s on competitors like Steam, yet Xbox App can barely get to 5 MB/s on a good day it seems? On top of this, I was forced to uninstall
    a game because a small update was taking so long and sitting at 100% complete, but not showing the play button. Why is there no choice to use previous versions when the updates are downloading so slow. A 1.8gb update taking so long and resulting in me being
    forced to uninstall because I had to choose between sitting forever with download speeds less than 100 KB/s or uninstalling.

    The experience leaves me questioning whether the service is really worth the subsciption cost when games are unusable due to extremely slow download speeds.

    What are your thoughts?

    :)

    Right now Microsoft has limit the bandwidth to avoid any type of "Staturation" on the service!

    Now you can do a Speed Test on Settings and Network, just to verify the network.

    try restarting your xbox one console or router/modem you have. Or, even contact your internet provider and have them reset it manually. sometimes calling the company provider you have helps when they reset, i’ve done it before.

    Xbox had announced that they encouraged downloads due to the traffic that exists due to the situation

    Downloading speed extremely slow

    hey, this issue could be one of a few things but to start are you using wireless or a wired connection.

    This will affect how fast your Xbox downloads games and updates. If you're using wireless try to use a 5ghz Wi-Fi rather than 2.4ghz if your router/accesses point allows it, however, if possible try using a wired connection as it will be most stable and
    much faster than wireless.

    If you do go a wired route then the ethernet cable that you will want to acquire is a CAT-5E or CAT-6 ethernet cable. I

    f you can't go the wired route then make sure that when you are downloading something on your Xbox try to keep your Xbox close to the wireless accesses point if possible and make sure that your network settings in your Xbox are not limiting the speeds of
    the download.

    Also having the Xbox in rest mode while downloading updates dose help the speed in my experience but this may vary.

    best of luck
