Latency Issues on PS5 version?

Has anybody else been experiencing more consistent jumps to your latency and IND on the PS5 version of Overwatch?
For the last few months at least I’ve noticed that the connection has had more lag spikes compared to the PS4 jumping from 40-60ms up to between 100-150 and it has made trying to play the game unbearable with everyone suddenly jumping around, shots being harder to land and just making the overall experience miserable.

Howdy!

Investigating this we do not have any outstanding trends of connection issues on PS5 for your region. I would recommend 3 key troubleshooting steps to narrow down the source of these increases:

  1. Shut down the PS5, and unplug it from the wall to clear the console’s cache. Power Cycle the home network’s modem and router to refresh the connection to all network devices and the Internet Service Provider. Steps on how to do this can be found Here. Once the network is back online, plug back in the console and turn it on.

  2. Make sure your NAT settings are open, we have a fan site that can assist with this Here. Your Internet Service Provider can help with this step if needed.

  3. Most console players utilize Wi-Fi though Wi-Fi connection strength can be different between devices. You may wish to temporarily try to utilize a wired Ethernet connection from the console to your router or modem to rule out unstable Wi-Fi issues.

If this step helps the Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer if you purchased your own private router, can assist with troubleshooting an unstable Wi-fi or help you setup a wired connection for the lowest latency possible.

Thank you.
