Bandwidth begins to saturate! While Netflix announced a few days ago to its subscribers that 4K would temporarily disappear from the service, Sony CEO Jim Ryan announced that the download speed on the PSN will be impacted by the lockdown.
A lot of people have been playing video games since the early forties, so it makes perfect sense to see this kind of measure appear. Attention, it is not a question of cutting any download either, but rather of limiting the use of very high-speed connections.
To better understand the situation, you can draw a very simple diagram: even if you are in a big city with an optic fiber connection, you will have to struggle to download your Final Fantasy 7 Remake and its 100gb of installation announced. The multiplayer sessions will be maintained at the usual broadband so that you can still enjoy your game library without additional worries.

In a very technical presentation originally meant for the cancelled GDC conference, lead architect Mark Cerny finally revealed the hardware details for the upcoming PlayStation 5.
