Some Switch owners are experiencing lag issues with the Monster Hunter Rise demo, and it might be tied to friend lists

Monster Hunter Rise's demo came out yesterday, and plenty of people jumped online to give the game a go with friends. Unfortunately, some of those people seem to be dealing with lag issues. While there's no official word on why that is, some detective work from fans may have figured out the issue.

As discussed in the video above, it seems that Switch owners with a large amount of friends on their friend list are experiencing the lag issues. The higher the amount of friends, the bigger the lag issues. This theory was tested with multiple Switch units and different friend amounts, and the results do seem pretty clear. Seems like something Capcom could easily fix, and hopefully this issue only exists in the demo.
