Download time varies, but a 50GB game with 5Mbps internet could take around 22 hours.

Estimated Duration: 22 hours

Download duration depends on game size and internet speed. For example, a 50GB game with a 5Mbps connection (typical slow speed) would take approximately 22 hours (50GB ÷ 5Mbps ≈ 22 hours). Steam shows estimated time, and pausing/resuming won't affect progress. Use wired connections for stability, close bandwidth-heavy apps, and schedule downloads during off-peak hours for faster speeds.
