Downloading god of war and other huge updates takes 2 minutes tops. It was fast at launch (and night and day compared to PS4 era) but it seems incredibly good now.

Is it just me or are PS5 download speed insanely good? I’m talking even better than launch

I think the GOW update was fairly small, but yeah it's really fast for me too. It's a welcome change.
It is much faster than the Series X for me. And it's going over wireless compared to my Series X being connected via Cat6
Not convinced that it's much faster than my PS4 Pro, also my PS5 downloads only one thing at a time and it's a bit annoying.
I still usually download things when I'm not using the console, but judging on the notifications from the PlayStation app, things are usually ready very quickly relative to my experience with the PS4.
Yeah I've found the network test to be completely useless.
I downloaded all my PS+ games today in like less than 15 minutes. I couldn't believe it. PSN easily has the fastest downloads for me right now
I don't understand how it's so fast. I always thought it was my ISP holding me back before. Day 1 with the PS5 was such a pleasant surprise. My XBX is insanely slow by comparison. Not sure what magic is going on there.
Almost maxes out my wired connection. I haven't played any actual PS5 games yet, but general performance improvements across the board (PSN store responsiveness, download speeds, load times etc) are the big win with the new gen.
On ethernet I can do 50GB in 10 minutes
It's very good but it's half network and half SSD, you can now download games while playing others much faster too

Yea I can download 4 gigs a minute on ps5. It's much faster than ps4 on the same exact connection.
I literally started downloading Control Ultimate Edition, walked to my mailbox and back, the download was complete (fiber). Took maybe 7 minutes.
2 minutes?!?! Do you have 10 Gbit speeds? Does the ps5 have a 10 Gbit Ethernet port?
Yep. On PS4 I used to assume I'd get 10 megabytes (80 megabits) per second on average on a good download (and I assume most long-term PS4 owners became aware that when a download is going slowly sometimes you can pause and resume and randomly just get a much better speed because the network decides it likes you now).
On PS5 I'm regularly hitting my connection's max speed (~250 megabits per second) so my assumption is that the PS5 could top that, if I got my speed increased.
Also PS Now seems to work more smoothly and Remote Play from the PS5 is a lot better than from the PS4 (haven't used it much, but after a disappointing first 20 seconds of macroblocky video, it flipped to a much clearer image with a fast response time, a highly noticeable step up from PS4).

the most important change from ps4 is that ps5 has full download speed even if a game is launched. So you playing 1 match in Apex and boom you have Control
Does anyone know if Sony routes PS5s to a different data centre than PS4s ?
I know for a fact that my internet speed hasn't changed since 2019 but I feel like PS5 downloads are about twice as fast.

I get full speeds when downloading on PS5 (unlike on PS4). No complaints here.
yep
yep
Destruction Allstars was quite slow for me with multiple freezes, but everything else i've downloaded on ps5 has been super fast
Ya they're pretty good even wireless, downloaded both control and destruction all stars in like 30 minutes
I think it's the fastest device on my network. Hardwired in on a gigabit line and games 50+ GB in size seem to take under 15-20 minutes. Series X is pretty fast too but it seems a bit less inconsistent, I'll see the downloads running between 150-600 Mbps.
Yes, it has become one of the fastest devices on my network now, where the PS4 was one of the slowest.
On a gigabit connection, the PS5 can hit around 800+Mbps from what I've seen at the router. The Series X isn't a slouch, but even it usually tops out around 500Mbps for me.

Yes, I get around 500 Mbps consistently on my connection. It's even faster than my Series X, which for some reason is in the 250-370 Mbps range.
