Getting started with networking concepts

Online gameplay can be unique, unpredictable, and maybe a bit more fun than playing a single-player game. However, building a multiplayer game is more difficult than its non-networked counterpart when it comes to keeping players in sync, mitigating latency, and maintaining secure gameplay. In this video we’ll cover the basics of developing multiplayer games using Netcode for GameObjects. It should give you a solid foundation in multiplayer networking before you dive into the Netcode samples.
