Many players are asking “Why is Warzone 2 so laggy?” at launch for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. It’s understandable why users are asking this, as I myself have been experiencing laggy matches, rubberbanding, stutter, and crashes. Here’s the latest information on why Warzone 2 is so laggy.
Why is Warzone 2 so laggy?
Warzone 2 can be laggy on PC, PS5, PS4, and Xbox for a few reasons. These include:
- Poor system performance.

- Connection issues.
- Exit out of the game and try connecting to another. It’s possible that it was just a laggy host connection.
- Make sure that there are no downloads or uploads on your network.
- Use a wired connection if you’re experiencing problems when playing wirelessly.
- Try restarting your router.
- Issues with the game servers.
