Installation times for xbox one games

gra67 · Dec 30, 2014

The time it takes to install games and then download updates is ridiculous.

I used to be a PC gamer but enjoy consoles because of the pick up and play approach but we seem to have taken a step back this generation.

I now have to plan when to play a new game and leave the xbox on for a couple of hours to install and update.

Frustrating (i don't think PS4 is any better either).

xbox one installation

previously i had no issues installing games from the xbox store . It takes a lot of time to download though , due to my slow internet . however , after the recent april update for the xbox one , i have an issue regarding the installation of one of the games
with gold titles : "ryse" . the game stops installation at regular time intervals and i have to resume the installation for the game to carry on and its taking forever .usually i put a game on installation before i go to bed and its done by morning . but in
this case the game automatically turns off installation and i dont have any connection issues also . its kinda annoying to resume the installation continiously .

I agree. Just got an Xbox one and this (and other things) is making me regret my purchase. My internet is on the slower side so I get about a max 1gb/hr (provided nothing else is downloading). Nothing worse than putting a disc game in and being told
it needs to download 6+ gig before I can play. I basically have to wait until the next day.

And even worse are the digital games. It took me the better part of a week to download AC Unity. Only to have it want to do another 50+gb patch a couple of days after completing. I just gave up on that one.

Being a long time (since the 80s) PC gamer as well I can tell you this is one of the things that got consumers frustrated with PC gaming when they switched over to consoles. They just want to put in a disc and start playing without any extra steps.

Its all about your connection speed. Pretty much all Xbox One games have a game update when you first install them. These updates can vary from a few hundred Megabytes to several Gigabytes. The console will always download the update first before installing
the data from the Blu-ray game disc. If your connection speed is low, it may take some time to get the update.

If all you want to do is play single player, disconnect your console from the Internet, install the game disc and play while still offline. You can install the game update later. If you set the console to 'Instant On' game updates will download while the
console is in a low power state.

Its the same with downloading full games from the Xbox One Store. Xbox One games vary in size from a few hundred Megs (Minecraft) to 50GB + for Halo MCC.

Not had any slow downloads myself, but then I'm on 120 Mb/s (megabits) connection from Virgin Media.

50 minutes is good, especially done wireless. It will be slightly quicker wired.

Its all based around your broadband connection. I live out in the country so only receive a 4Mbps broadband speed. My full installation of Fifa 15 took around 18 hours, so count yourself lucky!

Lol 50 mins is quick !! There's people on here with poor internet connection where it takes 10+ hours to download !!
