A game won't download or keeps getting stuck on your console
Your console needs more space and a stable internet connection to download games. Check that you have at least 50 GB of free space and that your WiFi isn't dropping. If that doesn't help, restart your console and try the download again — this fixes most stuck downloads.
Game downloads fail for three main reasons: not enough storage space, unstable internet, or a glitch that needs a restart. Check your free space first because games are huge now — most need 50-100 GB. Then make sure your WiFi is stable. If the download still gets stuck, a full console restart clears out whatever was causing it.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Starting a download without checking free space first — you'll always fail if you don't have room
- Assuming the console is broken when the WiFi signal is just too weak — move closer to the router first
- Pausing the download and leaving it paused for days — your console fall asleep or lose the connection
Signs you need professional help
- You have plenty of space, a strong WiFi signal, and the download still fails every time — the game server is down
- The error message mentions storage is full but your storage shows free space — your drive be failing
- The download worked before but now nothing downloads — your internet connection can have changed
