There needs to be a better way of updating games (lemmy.world)

How can it be 2023 and this console still fails to keep all of your games updated, or at least offering a button to manually update every game installed by a single click.

It feels like it only checks for updates for the last 15 games or so you played, which is an upgrade over the like 5 on the ps4, but all of a sudden I want to play rb6s with friends, which I haven't played in months and I gotta wait for like 30 GBs of updates first.

Also there's no easy way to update games in the library at all. Select game, open the games page, click play game.. wait for 5 seconds, then close game again. And if you have a disk Version, you even have to insert the disk first.

How come my phone is easily able to keep 200+ apps up2date with ease, yet a home console that's plugged in and connected to the Internet at all times struggles to do so.

As with all things, it can be up to the user. Windows even gives the option.

windows gives the option for p2p on local networks, which is a good idea as multiple machines on the same lan can share data quicker than them all going through the outbound connection, think an office. no one is okay with p2p like you are talking about, making the entire idea pointless

It's been a while since I checked but I thought Windows had 2 options. Enable p2p for download and enable for local network only.

Maybe it was an older version of windows.

I agree it is not something users want. They also don't want to wait to play games. Sometimes you make compromises.
