What should I do if I am experiencing lag during games?

If the games are slow, laggy, or jerky, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try.

Using Bluetooth headphones or speakers? Please note that audio may lag due to Bluetooth latency. We recommend using wired headphones, speakers, or your speakerphone for games that require audio such as Feel the Beat.
