@johnmiceterThat’s not on Apex or Respawn. It’s the way Playstation does it for all games. It downloads the update fast (depending on your DL speed of course) but the actual installing everything takes ALOT longer because of this
@Koochi-Q I think it's just for PS4 games and how they are handled. So loading a PS4 game like Apex on a PS5 will still do the copy phase.
I haven't noticed any of my native PS5 games doing this, even PS5 versions of PS4 games like Control.

- @ArchAngeL-PCX PS5 still does it but faster, as the article points out. Might also be the case due to what you said about size being a factor.
@Koochi-QCould be the size. The fact I haven't noticed it means it's at the least much faster.
The other thing I noticed is the PS5 doesn't seem to reserve extra space needed for a download, then copy. On PS4, I always had to keep 80-100 GB available for downloads or it wouldn't do it. I assumed that was room needed for the copy process.
