Mobile Phone Hotspot not letting me play multiplayer games

If I understand correctly, you're saying that you can play multiplayer games on your wife's Pixel 3A by using its hotspot? If so, the Google Pixel 3A's limited 4G capabilities are the cause. IPv4 and IPv6 are configured as defaults on it. The problem appears to be that all 5 g phones, whether they are T-Mobile phones or regular phones, are configured for IPv6. Due to the IPv6 coding of the 5 g, which is a relatively new technology, certain machines attempting to run the game are unable to access the game server. Since IPv4 has a longer history, its coding has had more time to mature. IPv4 is the default configuration for a 4 GB phone, such as your wife's Pixel 3A. For some, just changing.
