Port forwarding is a technique used to configure a router to allow incoming network traffic to specific devices on a local network.
In the context of Tekken 8, port forwarding is necessary to ensure that the game can establish and maintain a stable connection with other players during online multiplayer matches.
When you play Tekken 8 online, the game needs to communicate with other players’ devices using specific TCP and UDP ports.
If your router is not configured to forward these ports, the game may not be able to connect to other players, resulting in connection issues, high latency, or disruptions in gameplay.
How To Setup Port Forwarding For Tekken 8
To set up port forwarding for Tekken 8, you need to log in to your router’s settings, find the port forwarding section, and enter the IP address of your gaming device, along with the specific TCP and UDP ports required by the game.
For Tekken 8, the required ports are:
- Steam:
- TCP: 27015, 27036
- UDP: 27015, 27031-27036
- PlayStation 5:
- TCP: 3478-3480
- UDP: 3074, 3478-3479
- Xbox Series X:

By forwarding these ports, you are allowing incoming network traffic to reach your gaming device, which can help to improve the game’s connection quality and performance during online multiplayer matches.
It’s important to note that port forwarding can be a complex process, and it’s always a good idea to consult your router’s user manual or contact your router’s manufacturer for specific instructions on how to configure port forwarding for your specific router model.
