multiplayer games

Shared interactive entertainment

Multiplayer games are video games designed for multiple players to participate simultaneously, either cooperatively or competitively.

Players may share a screen locally or connect online: We spent the whole night on multiplayer games.

The term distinguishes these from single-player experiences and encompasses everything from casual party games to massive online worlds with thousands of concurrent players.
