With the technological momentum brought to the world by the pandemic, new digital tools are needed to accelerate online services. this is the case 5G, Fifth generation technologies for wireless communication devices.
The bet on 5G is nothing more than increasing the speed of browsing, searching or performing other activities through this technology, which will bring enormous benefits for users in terms of connectivity. This distribution takes place worldwide, and one of the countries that has made significant progress in Latin America is Mexico, where coverage of this technology by the Telcel company has begun in a total of 18 major cities.

One of the main advantages that 5G will bring in terms of video games will focus on gamers and their experiences. The latency, that is, the time between a player’s action and its reflection in the game, will range from twenty milliseconds to five milliseconds, gradually removing the well-known latency—on-screen response delay—which in turn eliminates this delay. It will raise the level of multiplayer games and make the game more fair.

“We’re getting the speed and latency we want so that some of the most demanding users can try this technology, because nothing can test something like a gamer, because it requires the best graphics, the best speed, the best experience and better sound,” added Sánchez, In an interview for EL TIEMPO.

Given the global power of this industry, video games could become the main entertainment tool for people in the future, which requires users to feel they have access to such technologies, and democratization is key. .
