You can make games download faster on your Xbox One in several ways, most of which simply involve putting less stress on your Xbox and internet connection.
It takes a decent amount of internet bandwidth to download a game, so keeping other devices off the internet can help downloads move faster.
When playing the Xbox One, you'll need to download games into your game library before you can actually play them.
This is a relatively straightforward process, but sometimes downloading games can take a while, especially if the game itself is large and requires a lot of memory.
Fortunately, there are a few ways you can help speed your Xbox One along.
