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

It's pretty damn fast, I get consistently 25-30 megabytes a second on wifi which is pretty nice considering my internet is 500mbps. Massive difference over PS4. So glad Sony went with Wi-Fi 6. My only issue was slower speeds when the system was in my entertainment console, putting it outside in the open vertically fixed the speeds for me.
I don't know if its faster then launch but its definitely fast and its awesome. Ps4 was terrible.
25-30 MB is like 250 mbit, which isnt that great if you are using wifi 6 on 500 mbit
Lots of walls and my router is tucked away in a closet. Best I can hope for considering.
Yeah, it's definitely way faster than PS4.
Xbox downloads are slower if there's a game open.
Part of the reason speeds are faster is due to the SSDs in the new console. Old platter drives have pretty slow read and write times so if you had fast internet you could be bottlenecked. Now that's not the case.
When I got my PS4 at launch it had blazingly fast downloads.
It seemed every 3 months they got slower and slower.
I wonder if the network starts to throttle when the number of devices connected grows. So at launch you get amazing speeds that go down as more people get PS5s.

I thought you were talking about the updates too. You downloaded the entire game in under 5 minutes?
Reinstalled God of War in 3 minutes flat tonight. Gigabit internet, but yes, it's fucking insane that it actually maximizes it while my Series X crawls in comparison.
It's glorious.

PS5 is the only console with WiFi 6. If you have a WiFi 6 router, that would explain a lot of that speed you're getting. If you don't, then hot damn.
Yeah, I've noticed this too!
I max out my 100 Mbps connection pretty much all the time
Whereas my XSX Maxes out at 30-70Mbps depending on the time
Steam is also Maxes out my connection

It is incredibly fast. It's an absolute far cry from the PS4. Gotta love modern networking equipment in the PS5. It's at times fastest than similarly sized downloads to my PC and both are wired.
PSN download speeds for me were never an issue on PS4. The killer was the atrocious install speeds, which presumably isn't an issue with PS5's SSD.
50mbits is 5-6MB/s.
Also, enjoy your fast internet. I get 1.5MB/s on a good day.
PS5 downloads were fast at launch and do seem even faster now. It's a godsend since I'm constantly running out of space. I can easily redownload games after I delete them to make room for something else.
My speeds are great on ps5 but not that good on sx. Both are wired to.
Ps5 just maxs but sx fluctuates between a couple MB/s to 100+MB/s and back and forth.

Yup, stuff seems to be ready way faster than I expect it to be. I downloaded Control last night and 15min later I got a notification on my phone saying it was ready to play. I don't know if it only downloaded partially though, since it was only later on that I got a notification about the game being installed after I had already started playing.
On wired, it's the same networking hardware as the ps4, gigabit ethernet. The main thing is though that the ps4 had a hard cap on download speeds because the fast downloads eat away cpu time (and obviously results in a lot of IO operation which stresses storage). PS4 typically wouldnt utilize more than 150-200 mbit of your connection. Even besides the hardware cap the background processes also affected the speed much more significantly than with the PS5.
Yeah I'm always surprised when something downloads within minutes on PS5. My experience on the PS4 was the exact opposite. Slowest download speeds ever.
Anything specific you've done to get the SX to be fast? Mine only utilizes the full speed of my internet if I plug it directly into the modem and bypass my router. Meanwhile my PS5 gets full speed no matter what.
Not that I'm aware of. I have it hard wired to a Gigabit switch (same as PS5) and that is fed right from the base node of my mesh network (Linksys Velop). Didn't do any sort of DMZ or anything like that.
Yea, when it took hours to download one game on my PS4 (or speed picked up at random) I am getting consistent 100mb per sec on the PS5 which is great.
No reason to keep games on my PS5 because I can just redownlkad them in a instant. The SSD is more than enough in combination with the new game compression size on PS5.

It is extremely fast. I live in Brazil and PS4 was god awful, but PS5 usually goes all the way on my bandwidth here (120 megabits but downloads like 15~16mb/s). I don't get these downloads speeds anywhere else and I use it on wifi. It made the less than 1TB SSD HD a non-issue.
I'm on WiFi as well. The wireless card on the PS5 is fucking LIGHTYEARS better than what we were dealing with in the prior generation. I feel zero need to run a cable through the house since it's so good now.
I have gigabit internet, and usually see 100+MB/s in download speeds on the PS5, via WiFi. It's an insane upgrade over PS4 Pro, and consistently better than I get on Steam, via a wired connection.
I get why people want extra SSD space, but so far deleting + redownloading games has worked well for me, since it only takes a few minutes before the games are playable.

I have no idea why mine slowed down suddenly these days. It might be my router but I didn't touch any settings at all so I'm not sure what to do
I have a 2gb plan and I believe 1gb is allocated to wired and the PS5 is getting up to 950mb/s so yeah it's pretty damn fast
Yes, my PS actually takes advantage of my fiber hardwired internet for once. It's mostly been great.
Unfortunately for me I'm fucked, my internet provider decided to put a restriction on PlayStation consoles since July due to Covid and now even though I have 1Gbps downloads are restricted to 2MB/s...
They refuse to reverse what they did and I can't change services due to having a 2 year contract with them. So now I'm stuck with games taking entire days to install while everyone else can download them in minutes :/

It took like what felt like a couple of minutes for Destruction All Stars to download and install.
