Grounded Public Test 1.1 is available today!

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Merry Christmas.

Hello SureEdwin9Tjean, the high ping in the console test actually happens because it tests on the Xbox servers, while when you test on the PC your browser is testing your connection between your home and your ISP, so it will always be higher fast.

However when it comes to downloads on Xbox, the download is done from the developers' servers so the transfer rate may vary from game to game.

What can help to improve is connecting your console by network cable, if it is on wi-fi and changing your DNS to a public DNS like Google or Cloudflare.

Cloudflare

Primary - 1.1. 1.1 and

Secondary - 1.0. 0.1

Google

Primary - 8.8. 8.8

Secondary - 8.8.4.4

As for the remote play, it only uses the internal network, try to check if you have your devices connected to the 5.0Ghz frequency instead of the 2.4.

In your case, to try to reduce the lag a little, the ideal would be to connect by cable.

Thanks for the detailed reply, Georges.

I had connected my Xbox to an ethernet cable, but the latency remained the same.

Lastly, how do I change the DNS to public on xbox?

It automatically shifts to double nat and moderate network but shifts to open NAT after I change the ports manually on my series s.

The game is currently in closed testing and not available to the general public at this time
