Both single-player and multiplayer games can slow down the connection. Anything involving a connection to the internet or sending large amounts of data will prioritize the download, and your gaming experience might suffer too.
Make sure you have the latest version of the PlayStation operating system. Sony routinely releases updates that address problems within the console.
The newest version of the operating system will patch any security flaws and can also improve download speeds. Although this setting is on by default, you might need to re-enable your PlayStation to remain connected to the Internet while in rest mode so it can continue downloading games. The very short explanation is that closing all games and applications seems to work. Juho Snellman, a systems programmer in Zurich, Switzerland, cautions that there may be other reasons for a slow download that are specific to a user's network or internet service provider.
This is a great circular firing squad where Sony could blame your cable company which can blame your router and back and then no one ever has to be responsible.
But Snellman says he observed a jaw droppingly small "receive window" when anything was running in the background on the PS4. Snellman says he ran two tests, the first with the download running in the foreground but a Netflix application running in the background.
When the Netflix app closed, the receive window increased significantly. So Snellman began a second test that introduced all kinds of different background functions to see what would happen. In one, the game Styx: Shards of Darkness idled in its title screen.
That shrank the receive window to 7 KB. How to Speed up PS4 Downloads? Tip: If your PS4 runs slowly, what should you do? Read More. Browse More Questions. Keep me logged in on this device. Forgot your username or password?
User Info: muffinmasher muffinmasher 6 years ago 1 This fix has worked for me, and may not work for everyone, but if you've noticed that your PS4 connection speed is much slower than expected, this may be worth a shot. Q: How do I know if my PS4 is downloading slower than usual? This runs your PS4 through a quick check of your network and reports the speed and status of your current connection.
If the speed displayed is much slower than what you think you should be receiving from your ISP, then your PS4 may benefit from this. If you're on a wireless signal, try plugging an Ethernet cable directly into the back of your PS4 and trying the connection test again after setting up the PS4 for a LAN cable through the same network menu.
Try power cycling turning off and on your modem and router. If they've been running on for a long time, sometimes these types of devices have a tendency to slow down. Try power cycling the PS4. Again, if it's been on for awhile, it could be worthwhile to give it a reboot. Q: I tried all of the above, and the connection test on the PS4 is still reporting a slower than normal speed. Hello, Sorry if this is the 2nd time I post similar message. Could still try to initialize it aswell. Thanks in advance.

Recently Ive noticed that whenever I do anything on my ps4 it stutters while watching a show or going through ps4 menu it will stutter back on a input and the background flow with the themes are also stuttering.
It is a old ps4 back from December and this started happening 2 days ago. Most probably your PS4 hard drive is declining. You better do a FULL format on it in order to restore the original performance. My PlayStation system has a please wait message when I turn it on and after an hour of waiting for it to load it goes into a blue screen and stays there until it automatically turns off and the process repeats itself.
I have not been able to play for 4 days now and I am not sure how to fix this. You might have an overheating issue with the PS4. Try to clean the inside of PS4. Or maybe it is a critical PS4 hard drive failure. My roommate downloaded games onto my PS4 and filled up the hard drive almost all the way.
After he did this, the PS4 was really laggy so I freed up almost half the space on the hard drive. However, games still lag and freeze after I freed up space. I rebuilt the database twice and it has not helped either. Is this a problem with the hard drive or could it be dust buildup causing the lagging and freezing? I just got a message on my PS4 saying an error has occurred SU What does this mean?
How do I fix it? To read more on this issue and how to fix it, please click here. Games on my PS4 Pro starting to lag really bad. NBA 2k21 loads really slow and freezes almost the entire game. I have rebuilt the database. What should my next steps be? Try to thoroughly clean the PS4, as you might have an overheating issue not a hard drive problem. Eventually, if you find out that the internal hard drive needs replacement, I strongly advise you to buy an SSD for your PS4 Pro, especially if it is a few years old, as it is much more durable and reliable compared to classical hard drives.
Okay, will look into these methods. Will get back to you and see what works. Thank you. You better get that console after 2 year of its release. It seems your PS4 internal hard drive is failing and have critical issue.
The first step we advise our readers and customers to do is to full-format it on a PC. So recently i had a power outage while playing a game.
It had corrupted the system software and i ended having to initialize it and reinstall the system software from safe mode. What else should i try? Apparently, your PS4 hard drive was badly impacted by the power outage. You can read on how bad power outage is to your PS4.
What you have to do now is to full-format the PS4 internal hard drive. You need to connect it to a PC and do the full format operation. If after the format the PS4 is still having issues, you need to upgrade the PS4 had to an SSD , as it is more reliable when it comes to power issues.
Hey I recently swapped out the old G hard drive with a new HDD 1TB hard drive and ever since then it has run extremely poorly, I have tried to delete the software and install it back on countless times and all have been unsuccessful. I am sure i have done the install properly and none of the internal hardware is fault. Your hard drive must be formatted on a PC full format.
