As someone who plays a lot of games – either for reviews here at TechRadar or just for personal pleasure – I spend a lot of time waiting for new titles to download.But recently, I went to download a game on my PS5, and the projected download time was almost too lengthy for me to believe. The game in question? Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. The predicted time for a full download? A whopping six hours and 20 minutes. That seemed way too long for a 37GB game on my home network, which offers download speeds above 70Mbps.But I was in luck. After sifting through various PlayStation forums and Reddit threads, I found a solution that cut my download time from over six hours to just over an hour and a half. Want to know how I did it? I’ll reveal all down below.
