    Whenever you're downloading on PS4, it's a good idea to restart your system from the power menu first. Due to how the PS4 manages memory, it seems that it doesn't always release suspended or closed down apps, and this slows downloads and installs.

    It has gotten a lot better in the past few years, but I'm still in the habit of performing the restart any time I have a time-sensitive update coming, and it does seem to help in a lot of cases. 

    From my PoV it took about 40 mins to install on my PS4 too. 

  • @asukojo i think you are trying to update it while the game is running in the back ground , just close all apps and try again
  • @asukojo Playing a game while trying to download slows it down significantly. Always reboot and let the update run.
