How long will you take to download GTA V? Discover here.

[ghml]

Grand Theft Auto V will be about 65Gb in size, but as Steam compresses files, I considered a 50Gb file.

This table shows the avarage download time based on the most common connection types, with a realistic 50% overhead:

The connection speed is expressed in kilobits and megabits per second.


Connection Type...............Connection Speed...............Average Time

Modem..............................56,6 kbps............................124 days
ADSL................................256 kbps..............................27 days
ADSL................................512 kbps..............................14 days
ADSL/Cable......................01 Mbps...............................07 days
ADSL/Cable......................02 Mbps...............................3.4 days
ADSL/Cable/Fiber.............10 Mbps...............................16 hours 40 minutes
Cable/Fiber.......................25 Mbps...............................6 hours 30 minutes
Cable/Fiber.......................51 Mbps...............................3 hours 16 minutes
Cable/Fiber/LAN...............100 Mbps.............................01 hour 40 minutes
Cable/Fiber/LAN...............155 Mbps.............................01 hour 04 minutes

pfff please delete your stupid post, wrong information.

This table is not provided by me. It's from http://www.download-time.com/ and the times are provided in megabits (and not megabytes).

1 megabyte = 8 megabits

Finally, read the website disclaimer:
"The calculations for download time are purely theoretical. It's rare that its possible to use the entire bandwidth for the download. Also, it is possible that you don't have the bandwidth that you are paying for. Please do a bandwidth test so that you will know what your download speed truly is. Speedtest.net Afterwards you can enter that download speed as "Own configuration" and do a new calculation of download speed."

Even theoretically the download times are incorrect. :)

Where can we find a more accurate download time simulator?

[Polyethyleneglykol]

Please note that it will probalby take LESS time because it's Cropped together, like a RAR file ^^
So it's like 50 Gigabytes or so x3

It will take me 55:23:29 hours with 2.8MB/s.

MB/s and Mbps are two different things. It wouldn't take you nearly that long if you actually downloaded at 2.8 MEGABYTES a second.

I changed the times considering this site.

Grand Theft Auto V will be about 65Gb in size, but Steam as compresses download files, I considered a 50Gb file.

yes a retail copy. are they still made? thank you for the honesty about this game size, it has helped me decide not to buy on steam or any dl service.

are you kidding me XD who would want to buy this game if it takes them up to 115 days XD

Their option would be buying the disc/retail copy. Or upgrading their Internet Plan, if available.

[hey]

If my net doesn't act up it should take about 2 hours :D

[The Rarest Pepe]

about 9-10 hours? I get 2.2mbytes/s which translates to 17.6mbits.

I forget how long FFXIII took, think it was about that. If they have a preload from the Rockstar social club thing, then I'll just leave it running overnight.

[イアン B.]

I have a connection at 1Gb/s

Hey ♥♥♥♥♥ we meet again

[Kevlar128]

Oh wow. Thanks for that chart m8.

[Harry101UK]

I have wireless 30mb Internet, and 6 hours sounds way off. Final Fantasy 13 was 65+GB and took just over 1 hour.

[the ouch mouse]

Downloaded titanfall in two hours with a ten MB connection, pretty sure this is gonna take me 4-5 hours.

Considering the shifts in my internet from good to bad and the fact that I downloaded the sims 3 with all the expansions in one hour and a half, I can back up the 4-5 hours statement, literally just gonna leave it pre-loading while I'm chilling in my bedroom reading books and stuff.

Now, the issue here is the freakin' space, gonna have to get a 1 TB HD and also re-install basically everything on my PC to play GTA V, or simply install it on my other HD and be gone with it.

P.S: currently have a 465 GB HD (Yes i'm poor) with only 100 GB of available space, so yeah.

[AmigoNis]

Almost 2 full days for me :/
(Download speed is 0.4mb/s)
