In the past, many people have shared tests on mountains, cruise ships, and even airplanes. Starlink StarlinkInternet speed, the results can confirm that Starlink’s speed is very good. It’s just that even if the upload and download speeds are fast, it is more important for the game whether the “latency” is high, andsatellite networkIn the existing impression, the latency is very high, so many players will be curious, can Starlink now meet the requirements for playing games? Recently, someone abroad conducted a crazy test to confirm this. When playing CS2 with Starlink at sea, the picture was super smooth.

How about the latency performance when using Starlink to play shooting games at sea? Foreign Soren Ellison’s actual measurement confirmed that the performance is excellent
Recently, a content creator named Soren Ellison continued to share videos of Starlink playing CS2 at sea on Instagram. A new one is uploaded every day. It is currently on the fourth day, so there are four videos in total. Each video is divided into two blocks, the first half is of himself and the second half is the current scene of playing CS2. Judging from his background, it is obvious that he is on a ship with no land around him, and his actual location is uncertain.
And his test is also very simple, just look at the latency performance of playing CS2 with Starlink. Although no actual latency data was shared, judging from the smoothness of the CS2 screen and his response time when playing, it is obvious that the ping latency is very low and the gameplay is very smooth without any lag. In the film, you can also see him shooting enemies many times without any lag.
This is the second part:
This series of crazy test videos also went viral on the X community, and were even forwarded by Musk himself:
According to test data shared by Compareinternet, Starlink’s download speed from 2025 to 2026 is usually between 20 and 220Mbps, with the median value being approximately 104.7Mbps. The upload speed is about 14.8Mbps, and the latency is about 20 to 50 milliseconds, which is very low. This means that whether you are watching high-definition videos, video chatting or playing games, you will never feel too slow.
Below is a video of a test of the residential Max plan shared by a user a few weeks ago. Even in cloudy weather, Starlink is still very stable and can reach 243Mbps download, 30Mbps upload, and ping 20ms. He also added that without the cloud, downloads can reach 400Mbps:
In terms of coverage area, Starlink has now expanded to most parts of the world. Coverage is 99% in the U.S., with the exception of a few small pockets of New Mexico and West Virginia, and available in more than 150 countries around the world, including in remote mountainous areas, rural areas or at sea. The total number of satellites exceeds 9,600, and the average online time exceeds 99.9%.
Judging from Soren Ellison’s maritime gaming test, the Starlink satellite network is really great. It can not only satisfy daily Internet surfing, but also play games. I really hope Taiwan can launch it soon.
