Thankfully, those experiencing long load times on PS4 and Xbox One can speed them up a bit. Here’s why load times can be so slow and tips on how to speed them up.

Long loading times in Watch Dogs: Legion are common on PS4 and Xbox One hardware. Those using the stock or add-on hard drive will be limited to much slower speeds than those using an SSD.
