The download speed is how fast data is pulled from the server and upload speed is how fast you send data to others. To have the ultimate gaming experience, Xfinity recommends speed tiers with download speeds of 300 Mbps and above. Choosing a higher internet speed tier gives you the ability to transmit more data, which offers greater leeway so it is less likely that other network constraints will impact your gaming. Because we live in a highly connected world, the amount of devices you have connected to your network will also impact your gaming experience. What Internet speed do I need for gaming, you ask? Most video game console manufacturers recommend at least 3 Mbps (or “megabits per second,” the measurement of how much data can be moved in a second) of download speed and 0.5 Mbps to 1 Mbps of upload speed as a generally 'good internet speed'. Whether you’re gunning for a Victory Royale in “Fortnite” or defending your goal in “Rocket League,” a fast Internet connection makes a big difference. Your Internet connection speed makes a big difference in your online gaming experience.
