Game Update Stuck at 99%

4.5

The download is finished, but the "Installing" or "Copying" phase never ends.

Symptoms
  • Stuck progress
  • Disk usage at 0%
  • Cannot launch game
Possible Causes
  • Insufficient space for unpacking
  • Disk write error
  • Antivirus blocking files

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check Free Space

Updates often need 2x the game size to "copy" files during installation.

2

Pause and Resume

Sometimes triggers the final file verification.

3

Restart Console/PC

Clears any file locks that might be preventing the update from finishing.

When to See a Technician

Modern games "copy" the entire game file during an update to prevent corruption, which takes a long time on HDDs.
