You can double download speeds on PS5 with this simple and easy trick – FayerWayer

The current PS5 has been a roller coaster ride for Sony. Although sales continue to grow, with more than 42 million copies sold worldwide, the lack of exclusive games from its studio has caused concern in the gaming community.

On the one hand, the launch of the PS5 Slim and PlayStation Portal is highly anticipated, while system updates are also in development and the first rumors about the PS5 Pro are starting to circulate.

However, some problems still exist, such as slow PS5 download speeds, and users have found solutions.

As commented in Mundo Deportivo, via a Reddit forum dedicated to PlayStation, a very simple trick has been discovered that can double download speeds on this latest generation of Sony’s console.

How to double PS5 download speeds

Surprisingly, this trick only requires minimal adjustments to your settings. In just two simple steps, you can enjoy significantly faster download speeds on PS5.

All you need to do is change the bandwidth of your Wi-Fi network. Yes, it’s that simple. If you’re experiencing download speed issues on your Sony console, your setup may be using a 2.4 GHz network instead of the more efficient 5 GHz.

Therefore, it is recommended to delete the current network data and reconfigure it:

• Go to Settings on your PS5.
• Select Network and choose your Wi-Fi network.
• Press the Options button and select “Forget”.
• Once you’ve done this, configure your Wi-Fi network again.
• Once connected, press the Options button on the network and verify it’s at 5 GHz; if it’s not, change it.

With this simple tweak, you can double your download speeds on your PS5 so you don’t have to wait too long for new games or important updates to install.
