At the Gadget Helpline we receive quite a few calls from frustrated Xbox One gamers who are desperately waiting to play their latest digital purchase but are experiencing a seemingly endless wait for the game download to complete. There are various factors which can affect download times including your network connection speed and the status of the Xbox Live network, which can be notoriously temperamental.
Microsoft offers a useful guide to download times which can help Xbox One owners manage their expectations when downloading games based on the size of the game and your download speed and we’ve included it in this article for your reference.
