Hi all. Recently updated (I'm hesitant to say upgraded) from a PS4 Pro with SSD to a PS5 disc edition.
Apart from the totally unintuitive interface (themes, folders and long-press PS button please Sony!) I'm being totally baffled by the PS5's download ability (or lack of).
The Pro, like all PS4s, had a dedicated chip that dealt with all the background downloading of games, patches, OS updates and so on. I could regularly see the downloading of 3 or 4 patches occurring simultaneously at any one time.
I can only assume that the 5 has no such capability? It seems to be able to download one thing at a time with all other pending downloads set to a ''Queued' status (mmm, very PS3)? More irritating than that is the fact that when the PS5 has finished downloading the one item, it then doesn't seem to take the next item out of the 'Queued' status and download that — you have to go into the press PS button->Downloads section and give it a kick.
Am I missing something or has the PS5 taken a backwards step from the old stager?
