Gather your friends in Tribes of Midgard, a 1-10 player coop action survival RPG launching on PS5, PS4, and PC via Steam on July 27th.

Getting Started with Tribes of Midgard

Routers feature a basic firewall. This firewall acts as a security feature by blocking unauthorized access and malicious traffic from the internet. However, games such as Tribes of Midgard play better when you open some ports. Therefore, port forwarding serves as a useful gaming optimization as it helps stabilize your network connection and improve its speed. However, most gamers do not know how to set up this configuration, yet it is very simple with a few mouse clicks, as shown in this guide.
