Multiplayer games are a genre of video games designed for multiple players to participate simultaneously, either competitively or cooperatively, across various platforms. These games can range from local co-op experiences, where players share the same screen, to large-scale online multiplayer modes, such as MMOs or battle royale games, where hundreds or even thousands of players interact in real time. Popular multiplayer titles, like Fortnite, Among Us, and Call of Duty, often feature modes that emphasize teamwork, strategy, and communication, while others focus on competitive play, where players test their skills against one another. Multiplayer games are known for fostering social interaction, enhancing replayability, and creating dynamic and unpredictable gameplay through player collaboration or rivalry.
