PS5 Download Stuck? Here's Your Troubleshooting Guide!

Frustrated with sluggish or stalled downloads on your PS5? You're not alone! Many gamers face this issue, but thankfully, most problems are easily fixable. Let's dive into some solutions.

First, check your internet connection. Run a speed test on your PS5 (Settings > Network > Test Internet Connection). Ensure you have sufficient bandwidth and a stable connection. Consider restarting your router.

Next, pause and resume the download. This often gives the process a kickstart. You can also try canceling and restarting the download, especially if it's been stuck for an extended period.

Make sure you have enough storage space! Head to Settings > Storage to verify you have ample room for the game or update.

If the problem persists, try changing your DNS settings. Use Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) for potentially faster and more reliable downloads.

Finally, ensure your PS5 system software is up-to-date. Outdated software can sometimes cause download issues. Head to Settings > System > System Software > Update System Software.

By following these steps, you should be back to gaming in no time! If all else fails, contact PlayStation Support for further assistance.
