Sony will slow you down to downloading games on the PlayStation 4 to reduce your internet load


Sony Interactive Entertainment has been notified that downloading games on Playstation consoles will be slower in the future.

The PlayStation 4 console is not exactly capable of taking full speed data transfer over the Internet, especially when working on a wireless network. But over the next few weeks, maybe even months, download speeds on the PlayStation 4 console will be even slower in Europe.

President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, said that Sony has a duty to contribute to maintaining the stability of the Internet at a time when more and more people are practicing social distance and thus making more use of the Internet. Sony, in cooperation with Internet service providers, will therefore restrict traffic in terms of digital game downloads, additional content, updates, etc.

They acknowledge that players may see slower downloading of games, but ask for understanding and emphasize that this will not diminish their ability to enjoy "robust gameplay".
