Some are purely competitive. Others blend in elements of cooperation. Many are free to download and play. A few demand an up-front cost. Early Access has made it easier than ever to to jump in and try something new, but some multiplayer classics remain so for good reason. If you’re looking for a new multiplayer game to play with your friends, we’ve put together a list of the best. Up to fifteen players are crammed onto a virtual spaceship and tasked with working together to uncover the hidden imposters within their ranks. Meanwhile, the imposters are looking to sabotage the mission and pick off their shipmates without being detected. League of Legends is a little more approachable than the other MOBAs out there, with a broad range of modes and a diverse roster of characters that provide plenty of different ways to learn and play the game. If you’re pressed for time, there’s also a mobile port called Wild Rift that provides many of the same thrills but crunches the length of a game down to a tight 10-20 minutes. While Riot’s stylised take on the tactical shooter can feel daunting to get into, the high skill ceiling means that it’s incredibly satisfying to master in the long run. Playing alongside friends can take the edge off learning to get good at Valorant, and give you someone to impress when the odds look grim. Epic’s ever-expanding and genre-defining battle royale shooter is still the king for good reason, and Constant variation is a key ingredient behind the game’s enduring popularity. The developer behind the game are relentlessly and regularly tinkering with key aspects of the game, keeping longtime players interested and giving lapsed fans a reason to come back. Fortnite is ridiculous, but it doesn’t hurt that it’s ridiculously fun to play with a group of friends. It’s not as deadly serious as something like Call of Duty: Warzone, but Respawn’s science fiction battle royale shooter provides plenty of thrills with snappy gunplay and exciting hero mechanics that let you pull off creative plays that let you turn the tables on your opponent and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. While Gloomhaven can be played solo with one player controlling up to four party members, multiplayer is where it really shines. The game eschews the typical action point system seen in turn-based tactics games like X-COM for a card-based alternative that provides greater variety and depth. Set in the same fantasy world as League of Legends and Netflix’ Arcane, Legend of Runeterra is a collectible card game with no booster packs, champion cards packed with personality, a rich roster of gameplay modes and a vibrant competitive community. Like Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood lets you and up to three friends shoot, stab and smash your way through a series of apocalyptic scenarios. You can even jump into the versus mode if you fancy a few rounds on the other side of the fence. This mode lets you take on the role of an infected, flipping the game’s premise on its head. Available on both PC, consoles and even the Nintendo Switch, Diablo 3 picks up decades after the first two installments of the series and brings the the dark fantasy world of Sanctuary to life like never before. You can team up with up to four friends at a time to kill your way through dozens of demons and collect ever more exciting and powerful loot. Regardless of whether you’re more interested in PVP or PVE content, the world of Destiny 2 provides plenty of paths to progress and the game’s season pass model ensures new story content is never far away. The base game features 24 playable characters, a sprawling campaign mode and a rich online community. There are also several DLC season passes for the game, which nearly double the size of the roster and bring fan favorites like Broly and Videl into the fray. For those who like their racing/soccer hybrids in 2D rather than 3D, there’s also an exceptional mobile version of the game called Rocket League: Side Swipe. This spin-off of the main game is available for free on both iOS and Android and well worth a look if you’re keen to get a sense of why Rocket League is as popular as it is.
