Alternatively i can just download them on each device and have better load times?

At least the games i play are small enough (<150GB each). And i dont need more than few them, one is enough usually.

1 Gbit internet connections are not yet universal. And some parts of the world still have slow internet.

Copy it over the network instead so its on the internal memory of both devices. Uses your fast LAN instead of slow internet.

Yup! Sitting here on 70 down / 18 up, fastest money can by around here. If I’m going to play a game I haven’t downloaded yet I usually have to plan a day in advance.
