Need for Speed Heat Deluxe Edition takes a long time to install

Hi,
I have my NFS Heat with my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which I linked yesterday), and when I click "DOWNLOAD", it takes a really long time to install. I have now been waiting for over 45mins now, and last time I installed it, it took only about 30mins. In the EA Desktop app, it keeps saying "Preparing Calculating time...". In my Download manager, it says "Nothing going on here." It's not because, I don't have enough space on my drive, because I have 157GB left. And last time I played it, was on July 1, 2021. Note: I'm logged in to my Xbox App as well.

So what can be the issue here? And how do I solve it?

I hope, someone is able to help me out!

Thank you in advance! 🙂

    @MizzCupcake_DK So you've said that it was because you have 157GB left, but it's not because you have small storage? Well, okay, this DLC has 50GB to download, but you said that you have 157GB? I don't really get it, but it might be your internet connection I guess?? Or maybe if you can free up a little bit of your storage to load it faster. In my Opinion. When I've just bought my McLaren F1 DLC pack in christmas 2021, it was fast when it downloaded. I was using PS5, and the game was compatible there. My PS5 was probably strong that's why, or it might be my internet. Actually, in my house, my internet is fast tho. How about you??

    Right, not because I've a small storage. Because even with 200GB left, it still won't install. And I doubt, it's my internet connection, as I've 500/500 Fiber connection, that works impeccably. And I'm the only one in my apartment, that uses the internet. Plus my internet isn't something, that's shared between other people (as some are). I don't have anything else, which is connected to my internet. Well, I do have my PS4 and Xbox One S, but I really rarely use those. And my TV box is connected to my home wifi, but i rarely use the TV as well (as I'm a gamer. I only have it, so I have free streaming services like Netflix, Discovery+ and Disney+). So this still is a mystery for me, of how I'm unable to install it. Because last year, I had no problems with installing it (same internet connection, same free disk space etc), but somehow I now do
