WebSockets enable real-time communication between the browser and server. In game development, they allow for instant data exchange, essential for multiplayer features and live updates, ensuring a seamless and responsive gaming experience.

Additional Context

Unlike traditional HTTP requests, WebSockets maintain an open connection, reducing latency and overhead. They are supported by most modern browsers and can be integrated easily with backend technologies, making them ideal for building interactive and dynamic multiplayer games.
