StaceyPowers Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I've been debating grabbing the digital version of RDR II while it is on sale at the PlayStation Store, but I've heard horror stories about how long it can take to download it, so maybe it is better for me to buy a disc. I am curious for those of you who have RDR II, how long did your download take if you got it digitally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Depends on your internet speeds. Each person will get different results. I get around 60 uploads and so around 8mb/sec is mt max speeds. Then at times, the server that you are downloading from will have it's maxed output to what you can allow downloading each second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I recommend getting the disc. It runs faster than the DDL, and is a lot less glitchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 If I remember correctly, about 2-3 hours. I mean GTA V took me about 6 hours to download and the game was 60 GB (it's way larger now with the added DLCs since). StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my internet is pretty quick so that's probably why it didn't take that long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have satellite in the country and takes a couple days to download disc. Keep in mind you have a major update too as soon as the disc is downloaded. That took me another 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in you paused and resumed or you just downloaded it without interruption for 3 days straight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I left it in sleep mode and kept checking throughout the day for 3 days for the update and around 2 days for the game download. It even shows on the download time it say 99+ hours to download, but took almost a week for the game install then update install after. My RDR2 also malfunctioned twice. It said I had to reinstall because of corruption after playing the game for many hours. And the reinstall took the same time. But the second time it said corrupted I deleted the app and not gonna install it again. So I don't play it anymore. I have a second ps4 I keep as a backup. And when I installed RDR2 on that one it took the same amount of time. The storage transfer wouldn't work between the two ps4's because my internet was too slow I guess. So that's why I installed it manually on the second ps4. I haven't tried playing it on the second ps4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntax Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I want to say that it took me around 2 hours to fully get it to download when I got it, although I had the disc copy so the time it even took copying from disc to the hard drive was like over an hour as well. Still is worth if you can download it overnight vs. during the day, since I feel like the speeds are slightly faster overnight when less people are using the internet for things.
