A method is provided for controlling game character movement for a server. The method includes receiving a movement-request data-packet sent by a first client, where the server is configured to manage a character movement on the first client and a character movement on a second client in a same game scene. The method also includes determining whether a target client is the first client or the second client according to the movement-request data-packet, where a character on the target client is a character whose movement needs to be controlled by the first client. Further, the method includes updating a movement identifier of the target client, and broadcasting the updated movement identifier of the target client to the first client and the second client.
