Multiplayer networking is the discipline of building systems that let multiple players interact in real time within a video game, handling state synchronization, latency compensation, client-server or peer-to-peer architecture, and cheat prevention. Game developers and network engineers rely on techniques like client-side prediction and lag compensation to make online play feel responsive despite network delay. It is a core specialty in game engines like Unity and Unreal, which provide built-in networking frameworks.
