How to Fix Lag on PS5! Fix Ping, FPS & Lag Spikes (Easy Guide)
15Here’s how to fix lag, high ping, FPS drops, and lag spikes on your PS5:
1. Use a wired connection (LAN)
A LAN cable gives you lower ping and fewer drops than Wi-Fi.
2. Switch to 5GHz Wi-Fi
Settings → Network → Set Up Internet Connection → Choose your 5GHz network. It’s faster and less crowded than 2.4GHz.
3. Restart your modem/router
Unplug for 30 seconds, then plug back in to refresh your connection.
4. Close background apps/games
Only run the game you’re playing. Background activity causes lag.
5. Put PS5 in Performance Mode
Settings → Saved Data and Game/App Settings → Game Presets → Performance Mode.
6. Lower in-game graphics (if supported)
Some games offer graphics vs performance modes. Choose performance for smoother FPS.
7. Change DNS for better routing
Settings → Network → Set Up Internet Connection → Your Network → Advanced Settings
Set DNS to:
Primary: 1.1.1.1
Secondary: 1.0.0.1
(or use Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
8. Avoid using downloads or streaming
Pause all downloads, and ask others on the same network to limit streaming/gaming.
9. Play on closer servers
In online games, pick the nearest server/region when available.
10. Update system and game
Make sure your PS5 system and games are up to date for bug and performance fixes.
