Why am I getting Modern Warfare 2 lag on PlayStation?
Why is MW2 so laggy? This is a common question I get asked a lot when it comes to games and the problem with this question is there are so many things that can cause connection issues and lag spikes in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and make it laggy and unplayable.
The servers could be experiencing issues, causing server and network lag and making your game disconnect. It may also get stuck on the “Checking for update” screen.
Not having the latest update installed for your PlayStation, or even not using a cable and playing the game over a wireless connection can cause lag in Modern Warfare 2.

How to fix Modern Warfare 2 lag & connection issues on PS4/5
Below are the different methods for fixing connection problems and lagging in COD Modern Warfare 2 on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. You will need to do each method until one fixes the issue that you are having.
Fix 1: Online Services
First, ensure there are no connection problems with other Call of Duty titles using Activisions Online Services checker.
Check the PSN network for any issues as well
If there are problems with other games then the chances are it will also be affecting the Modern Warfare 2 game.
Fix 2: Twitter
Check Activisions Twitter page and see if they have posted anything about their servers and known problems.
Fix 3: Restart
Restart your PlayStation 4/5. We know it sounds simple but sometimes just doing a simple restart of your console can resolve many problems.
Fix 4: Internet test
Within the PlayStation settings, you can run a speed test to ensure you are getting the correct and decent connection. If you are not then this will explain why you are having lag problems in Modern Warfare 2 or getting network errors:
PlayStation 4:
- Open Settings and go to Network
- Select Test Internet Connection
PlayStation 5:
- On your Home Screen go to Settings and then Network > Select Connection Status
- Click on View Connection Status > Press Triangle to run the test
Fix 5: Update system
Check you have the latest update installed for your PlayStation. If there is a new update available then install it as it could help fix the issue. Plus a new update might add new features so it’s worth it:
- Go to Settings and then System Software Update
- Install any updates
Fix 6: Sign out
Sign out of your PlayStation profile then sign back in again this will just give your profile a refresh.
Fix 7: Cable
If you are using a wireless connection then use a cable connection as it will be more stable and offer a faster connection helping reduce mw2 lag on your PS5.
Fix 8: Restart the router
Restart your router. But first, ensure that no one else is currently using the internet as it will also kick them offline.
Restarting the router will give it a refresh and if you have not restarted your ISP router in a while then it could really help fix MW2 lagging on your PS5 or PS4.
Fix 9: Reinstall
If none of the above methods helped fix the connection issues with Modern Warfare 2 then you could try reinstalling the game:
- Press the Options button on your PlayStation controller when you hover over the Modern Warfare 2 icon
- Select Delete
I hope one of the above methods helped fix Modern Warfare 2 connection and lagging problems on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. And you can now sit back and try and get to the top of the leaderboards!
