Slow speed on xbox pc

mictorioz · Dec 14, 2021

I am trying to download game using xbox game pass, am getting very low speed. My speed in xbox app is usually around 52Kbps, whereas everywhere else it is over 200Mbps. If I can't download a game, what is the point of subscribing to xbox game pass?

Is this confirmed? I've definitely noticed slow speeds on PC but not really on console.

I meant that game is available on store but can't be downloaded without xbox app. Its Forza Horizon 5 btw.

Ah, my apologies....that makes much more sense!

I see what you mean...I was just trying to test the different speeds between the Store and App and I see they have now updated the Store to stop people downloading from there. That explains the revamp a few weeks ago. Incidentally, I just tried downloading Halo from the App and was getting about 10% of my line speed....which is only 80MBps so was getting 7-10MBps. Miles better than you are getting but still pretty poor

No clue why people are forced to use the app when it is well-known to be one of the most useless apps in existence?

Any chance you are using a 3rd party Internet security program, like Norton, Avast, Kaspersky etc? If so, try disabling it (you are still covered by Windows Firewall and Defender..just make sure they are active)...they frequently can cause issues.

Same is suggested if you run gaming software like Razer Cortex....if it's running in the background, it can cause problems.

Have tried it. Game is not available in store

Really? That's odd as all GP games should be in the store. Which game is it?

I tried doing all of these methods. I don’t see any improvement in speed.

Hi,

I don’t have any antivirus installed, and there is no gaming software running in the background.
