PS5 Speed Test
This guide covers running the speed test on this device, the numbers to expect, and the settings that skew results.
Running the ps5 speed test
Open this page in a normal browser tab and tap the start button. The test auto-sizes itself to your connection, so it works on Wi-Fi, cellular and wired connections alike.
Close bandwidth-heavy apps before measuring. On phones, make sure you are not connected to a VPN or using a data-saver mode, since those route traffic differently.
Comparing with your plan
Measure twice over Ethernet, then again on Wi-Fi. Big gaps between the two mean the wireless link — not the plan — is your bottleneck.
Network congestion in the evening can pull a 300 Mbps plan down to noticeably less at peak hours; testing a few times across the day shows the realistic range, not just the best case.
What the test can and can't show
Battery-saver modes can reduce network throughput on phones; for a measurement, connecting to power or disabling low-power modes gives a truer reading.
Operating-system updates are a common hidden variable: a freshly updated device can spend minutes on background work that pulls throughput away from your test.
If you test on a phone and a computer on the same network, expect different numbers — the radio antenna and network stack of each device participate in the result.
A few final tips
On PS5 Speed Test, run the test once wired and once on Wi-Fi to see how much of the gap between your plan and your result is your wireless environment.
Speed test limitations
A speed test measures your connection to our test server, which typically lives on the same backbone your ISP peers with. Speeds to other destinations can vary with routing, server load, and the websites you use.
Latency shown here is the round-trip time to the test server, not the latency you would get to every gaming server or streaming CDN. Use it as a general baseline, not a guarantee.
