PS5 NAT Type 3 usually indicates a strict or moderate network setting that can limit your ability to connect with other players. This is typically caused by your router or network settings blocking certain ports. To resolve this, you can try enabling UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on your router or set up port forwarding for the PS5’s required ports. Both methods can help open the necessary communication channels for a better gaming experience.
