You can team up together in parties and talk to each other using your microphones \u2013 it\u2019s an experience like no other! From Fortnite to GTA V, there are tons of online games that are perfect for playing with friends, so make sure to give them a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Fortnite.png?resize=658%2C567&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fast-action, competitive online games like Fortnite absolutely rely on a fast connection\" class=\"wp-image-179408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Fortnite.png?w=658&amp;ssl=1 658w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Fortnite.png?resize=300%2C259&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Fortnite.png?resize=150%2C129&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><figcaption>Fast-action, competitive online games like Fortnite absolutely rely on a fast connection<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"record-your-gameplay\"><strong>Record your gameplay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone wants to win when they play online. After all, it\u2019s one of the worst feelings in the world when you try your hardest but end up losing to your opponents or finishing rock bottom on the leaderboards. If you find that this is happening to you a lot, you should try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-to-screenshot-video-on-ps5?r=US&amp;IR=T\">recording your gameplay<\/a> so that you can watch it back and see where you need to improve. PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X\/S come with built-in gameplay recording options that you can activate using your controllers, whereas most smartphones also come with stock screen recording options. On PC, though, you\u2019ll usually have to download video capture software to record your gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"download-free-dlc\"><strong>Download free DLC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/far-cry-6-vaas-insanity-dlc-november-release-date\">DLC (downloadable content)<\/a> has become insanely popular in the gaming universe. Now, almost all mainstream games come with the option for players to download DLC. Sometimes, DLC can be expensive (such as on Call of Duty games), but it\u2019s occasionally available for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your favorite games are, check out your platform\u2019s store to see if there is some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/resident-evil-village-will-be-getting-some-free-dlc\/\">free DLC available<\/a> for you to download, from character skins to bonus weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-companion-apps-on-your-smartphone\"><strong>Use companion apps on your smartphone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Companion apps are great for improving your online experience. In case you don\u2019t know, companion apps are usually free apps that you can download from your mobile app store. They work as extensions of console and PC games. For example, Star Wars Battlefront (popular on PlayStation and XBOX Consoles) has a free companion app &#8211; <em>Star Wars\u2122 Battlefront\u2122 Companion<\/em> \u2013 that you can download to track your stats, earn in-game credits, and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With gaming being such a popular hobby, it\u2019s only right that you optimize your online
