Nintendo's servers handle matchmaking, but the actual gameplay runs on a peer-to-peer model. If you got a bad connection, you might feel like you're swimming through molasses.

Splatoon 2 sorts out lag by using a peer-to-peer system with some help from servers. It mostly works but isn't perfect.

Splatoon 2 uses peer-to-peer connections, which can sometimes make lag a bit of a squid-tastrophe if someone has a poor connection. But usually, the game does a good job of prioritizing smooth gameplay for most players.

It鈥檚 all about that peer-to-peer magic. Just don鈥檛 blame the game if someone鈥檚 playing from their basement with potato internet.

The secret sauce is a combo of dedicated matchmaking servers and peer-to-peer connections during matches. Good news if everyone鈥檚 internet is solid!
