Questions tagged [matchmaking]

Describes methods used by many online games to put players in groups (often called lobbies) that allow them to play games together.

A matchmaking system puts players in lobbies or parties so that they can play games together.

Many matchmaking systems often use player stats to allocate a player to a lobby.

For example, some systems may prefer to put players of a similar skill group together as in the game CS:GO.

Some may also place players from a similar region of the world together so that latency between them is at a minimum.
