WHY DOES IT TAKE A LONG TIME TO COPY THE PS4 UPDATE FILE?

 

On PlayStation 4, sometimes some copies of updated files for a game or console software will be long. We tell you why.


On the different Playstation consoles, whether PS5 or PS4, it will be possible to make regular updates for the games installed, but also for the software running your machine.


However, some players find that some copies of update files on PS4 are particularly long and want to know why. The copy speed strongly depends on the game that scheduled the update, but also on your hard drive.


PS4 update, why the file copy is long?

If you're looking to find out why the update file copy seems particularly long on your PS4 console, well, it greatly depends on the game you want to update. During the various updates, all players must download the update, but in addition, make a copy of the already existing updated files in order to prevent them from being corrupted.


To improve this copy of the update files, there is no real solution, however, it is possible to slightly improve this copy by installing a hard disk that is a little better in terms of write speed within your console. Finally, we also remind you that the download speed of updates depends on your connection speed and ideally, we recommend that you use a wired connection rather than using WiFi.
