As the name suggests, online gaming is any gaming that happens over the internet. Many games, especially single player games, are just programs that run on your phone, console, or computer. These games don’t require an internet connection. Online games, however, use the internet to connect multiple players to a game server, allowing them to play together. This distinction matters because the type of gaming you enjoy might be important for choosing a phone plan or an internet plan. If you prefer online gaming, the quality of your internet connection can make a huge impact on your experience.
