Optus Has Introduced Game Path So You Can Say Goodbye To Lag Forever

One of the most frustrating moments in any game is the split second when a lag spike totally ruins your winning streak.

You know the feeling: you crashed your car, missed a big team fight, and you’ve spent the last ten seconds running into a wall while your teammates laugh at you. Unexpected lag is not the vibe. But now you can reclaim your in-game glory with Optus’ brand-new Game Path, your secret weapon against PC gaming lag.

Game Path does exactly what it says on the label: it finds the optimal path between your computer and the game server you’re playing on, and then automatically routes your connection between the two points.

Not to get all technical, but networks are complex and there are SO. MANY. ROUTES that your gaming traffic could take to connect you to a server, especially if you’re playing on international servers (which Aussies often have to do). And the longer the route, the more likely you are to get lag. Game Path analyses all of these routes and essentially puts you on a shortcut to the server.

According to Optus data, Game Path can reduce lag by 30 percent. That’s the difference between a #1 Victory Royale and ending up on the tail end of someone’s Twitch stream, between a Play Of The Game and dying yet again to Reinhardt’s hammer, between a happy and a frustrated “just one more game”.

Playing games online is a great way to stay connected with mates, as long as that quality time isn’t ruined by lag or ping spikes.

So, ready to give your gaming sessions a little boost? Game Path is offered as a $10 add-on to Optus NBN customers and is available now. In the words of polite gamers everywhere: good luck, have fun!
