Multiplayer in Unity's new Distributed Authority model allows game clients to share responsibility for owning and managing objects, eliminating the need for a central game Server or Host. This approach enhances scalability and reduces costs, but also requires new strategies for handling physics, authority, and ownership. In the video, we explore the programming setup for a Distributed Authority game, how ownership is distributed and transferred, methods for measuring latency between players, and best practices for synchronizing player actions in a decentralized multiplayer environment.
