Multiplayer games are video games designed to allow multiple players to participate simultaneously, either cooperatively or competitively. These games emphasize social interaction, teamwork, or rivalry, with players engaging in shared objectives, battles, or challenges. Multiplayer modes can range from local split-screen play to online matchmaking, supporting anywhere from two players to hundreds in a single session. Common subgenres include battle royales, massively multiplayer online games (MMOs), and party games.
