Although the PlayStation digital version of games is very convenient, you can download and install it directly from the Internet without worrying about missing game clips. However, the download speed has not been very fast. In this era where a game masterpiece can easily exceed 30GB, it is really No, you have to wait half an hour or even an hour each time for the download to be completed. This is why many players don’t like the digital version.
The good news is that this problem has been greatly improved on PS5! Recently, foreign media reported An actual test of PS5 vs PS4 game download speed showed that under the same network environment settings, PS5 is at least eight times faster than PS4. For a 36.6GB game, PS5 only took about 7 minutes to complete, which is quite amazing. .
PS5 download speed is at least 8 times faster than PS4 Pro
Although PlayStation 5 has not yet been officially launched, many foreign media, bloggers, and YouTubers have already grabbed it first. I believe many people I have seen the unboxing before. In the PS5 review article recently published by the well-known game media USGamer, the download speed test of PS5 and PS4 was conducted.
First, they used the game Disgaea5, which has a capacity of 6.58 GB, it takes 10 minutes and 42 seconds to download the entire game on PlayStation 4 Pro, and only 1 minute and 58 seconds on PlayStation 5, which means a total shortening of more than 8 minutes.
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is next. The game, with a capacity of 36.6GB, takes nearly an hour (58 minutes and 34 seconds) to download on PlayStation 4 Pro, and only 7 minutes and 1 second on PlayStation 5. The shortening is even more amazing than the previous one.
USGamer even said: "Light That’s why it’s worth upgrading!”
As for the network environment, USGamer uses a wired network (LAN), and both PlayStations are the same. The actual measured speed is 726Mbps for download and 939Mbps for upload. , the Internet service provider is Verizon FIOS.
This is really eye-catching! In the future, when buying PS digital games, you will no longer have to wait 1 to 2 hours for downloading before you can play them. The time is greatly shortened. Of course, this also depends on your network speed. If it is already very slow, the improvement may not be so obvious.
