With a global game launch like this, it’s normal to experience some technical difficulties or network problems. Because the game is being released worldwide all at once, a large number of players will be trying to connect simultaneously, which could lead to server congestion and potentially a queueing system.
However, that’s what the recent server slam was supposed to iron out.
