What Are Peer To Peer Games?

Peer to Peer games refer to the ability of electronic games to be played by players in different locations while still having the ability to engage with each other in the same game environment whether playing individually or as a team. The ability to play against friends and other human players is what has driven this method of delivering games. Whilst AI-driven players can be challenging people prefer the thrill of beating their friends and other humans in real-time online. Many popular games such as World of Warcraft and Fortnite offer this ability and have become highly popular as a result.

The ability to play games in this way can be achieved using technology that enables players to connect with each other instead of through a central server although there are also ways to implement these games through a dedicated server that tracks all players in the game.
