Rollback Netcode Announcements Made For Multiple Fighting collection Games At EVO 2023

EVO, the year’s biggest fighting games event, went down over the weekend, and in terms of news perhaps the biggest announcement was that not one but two games will be getting Rollback Netcode improvements over the next 12 months. Don’t know what that means, or why it’s important? I got you!So in online multiplayer games, a big part of allowing everyone to play together is the way the game registers everyone’s actions at the same time. When a person in Canada is playing someone in Germany they’ll both be pressing buttons in their own homes, and the game needs to pick up those inputs, apply them to the game and have them play out in a way that makes the whole thing look as seamless as though they were playing with (or against) each other in the same room.
