While FastStart does not speed up download times, by identifying which files are needed to begin gameplay and prioritizing the download of those files first, you can generally expect to jump into your game twice as fast as you did previously, on average. Games will still download based on your local bandwidth. That means if a game previously took an hour to download and play, you will now be able to begin gameplay after just 30 minutes.

While FastStart is available today for select titles, we intend to expand the library of games over time with no work required by our development partners.
