    How to Improve Connection and Reduce Latency in Cloud Versions of Games

    The information in this article can help ensure you have a stable connection to experience Cloud Versions of games.

    Cloud Versions of games require a consistent internet connection to play. For the highest quality experience, we recommend the following:

    • Use a persistent and stable high-speed internet connection.
      • If your connection slows down, check if bandwidth is being used by other users/devices in your home. Multiple devices on the same network may affect your experience.
      • Contact your ISP to verify your connection speed.
    • Optimise your network environment.
      • Use a wired connection to your router, if possible.
      • If connected to a router wirelessly, it is preferred that you use the 5 GHz band. Try using the router’s other band (2.4 GHz) if you experience poor connection. (Your Nintendo Switch console should have a direct line of sight to your router. Make sure both devices are in central and open locations away from walls, large metal objects, and other electronic devices.
    • Follow our troubleshooting for slow download and upload speeds.
    • For specific error codes or messages, visit the official Nintendo website.
