This same issue impacts other games using the Unreal engine (I personally had a lot of issues with it with ARK, but there are several other games that if you google, you will find have the same complaint and use Unreal). This is an issue between Unreal and Steam, but unfortunately, the game Devs have to hear the complaints. It's kind of a known thing that games using the Unreal engine take longer to update, because of how Unreal packs the game, and Steam updates. If you check your drives, and they have space and are where you expect, with no extra drives listed, there IS another issue. Ideally, you want this to be a modern SSD or M2 drive, not an old mechanical drive as well (if that's all you have though, that's all you have.) The drive you use should have plenty of space in it-not "just enough" for the update, but extra space as well. If you have more than one drive listed, you may wish to remove the extras, as Steam could be using any (or all!) of them. At the top of the Storage Manager window, it will tel you what drives you are using for Steam. In the Settings window, click on Downloads on the left, and then on the top right, the "Steam Library Folders" button. You can check where Steam is using by going to the "Steam" menu (it's a really small menu in the very upper left corner of the screen, above where it says "STORE LIBRARY COMMUNITY"), and select "Settings". If the temporary location is a slow drive, or one with limited disk space, that will slow down the update.
When Steam updates a game, it downloads the update to a "temporary" location, and then unpacks the updates to the game itself. So, one big factor, is your disk drive, and how much space you have.
probably some other things I am forgetting
how fast your disk drive is, both where the temp files are stored, and where the game goes how many other people are trying to update from the same servers at the same time There are many factors in how fast a game updates:
