CONTROL Ultimate Edition (Cloud Version) requires a stable, high-speed internet connection to stream the game smoothly. Since the game is hosted on remote servers, your connection quality directly affects performance, latency, and image clarity.
Test Your Connection

From your Nintendo Switch’s main screen, select the System Settings icon.Select Internet → Test Connection.
Select System Settings from the HOME Menu, then Internet, then Test Connection. The results will show your download and upload speeds and NAT type.
Wait for the test to complete.
Review the results, you’ll see your Download Speed, Upload Speed, NAT Type, and Connection Status.Compare your results to cloud play requirements:
Minimum Download Speed: 10 Mbps
Minimum Upload Speed: 3 Mbps
NAT Type: A or B preferred for stable cloud sessions
- Connection Status: Must show "Successful"
For the best experience with cloud games, a stable and high-speed internet connection (at least 10 Mbps download) is recommended.
Optimize your Wi-Fi signal:
Use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band (if available).
Keep your router within 3–5 meters of your console.
Avoid walls, microwaves, or Bluetooth devices that can interfere.
If possible, use a wired LAN adapter for maximum stability.
Re-test after adjusting.
If your speeds improve, you should see smoother video quality and reduced input lag during gameplay.
Troubleshooting Notes
If your connection meets speed requirements but you still experience lag or drops:
- Restart your router and modem.
- Disconnect other devices using heavy bandwidth (e.g., streaming or downloads).
- Avoid playing during peak network hours if using shared Wi-Fi.
- If issues persist, contact your ISP for latency testing or packet loss checks.
If you continue to experience issues after testing and optimizing your network, contact Nintendo Support for assistance.
