The world of gaming is evolving every year and right now, one of the most popular types of games that people are choosing to play is multiplayer games. In the past, we did not have access to multiplayer games and the closest that you could get to multiplayer was split-screen play. However, the issue with the split-screen play was that the person that you were playing with could see your every move, which made it harder to surprise them and have a fair game.
Now, thanks to the internet and other technology, most of the games that you can buy on the market are multiplayer or at least have a multiplayer mode. You are no longer limited to only being able to play with people in your local area, as you can now play with anyone from around the world.
Everyone seems to go for multiplayer games over other games, as they are a lot more fun and they allow you to enjoy the games that you love with your friends. Though single-player games are still enjoyed, people just seem to enjoy socialisation a lot more than playing alone and so there is no wonder why so many people go for multiplayer games.
If you are someone that wants to try out some multiplayer games for yourself, then you may be wondering which games are the best on the market to play. Here is a look at the best multiplayer games out right now.
Fortnite
To start off the list, I thought I would discuss one of the most popular free to play games out there right now. Fortnite has been around for the best part of a decade now and this time it has become a fan favorite with gamers everywhere.
Not only is this game free, but there are a lot of additional items and features that you can receive by playing the game, such as free skins and weapons. This battle royale game allows you to take on up to 99 people from around the world and there are a lot of options for how many people can play the game at once.
You can enjoy the game in single-player, duos, trios and squads. This means that no matter how many friends you have to play with, you can take on other teams and play as a group to gain XP and even win a crown.
As well as having the main battle royale option, Fortnite also has a long list of other gamemodes that you can enjoy. For example, you can play classic gun games that you can enjoy on most PVP games and you can also play some that involve Fortnite’s iconic building features.
Even if you get bored of the original gameplay, you can make it more exciting by taking a look at the rest of the game modes that are on offer. This game only seems to be collecting more players as the years go on and that is just a testament to the quality of the gameplay.
Minecraft
If you are someone that was raised in the early 2000s or you just enjoyed gaming during this time, you will be more than familiar with the world of Minecraft. This open-world crafting game has had a huge cultural impact on the world and it is enjoyed by millions of different players.
The game first started off with basic gameplay. You would be released into an open world map and you could choose between creative or survival mode. In survival mode, you would have to try and find all of the resources needed to survive, whereas in creative mode you would be given the opportunity to craft and access all of the resources and materials from the game, which you could use to create whatever you wanted.
Since the game’s initial release, there has been a lot of progress and there have been a lot of changes that make the game even more enjoyable. In the past, the game wasn’t even multiplayer, but now Minecraft servers allow thousands of people to play at a time and so you can play with lots of different people and make friends.
The game itself also has a lot of new modes and minigames that you can enjoy, such as bed wars and even a hunger games replica. There is so much to do in the game and thanks to constant changes made by the developers, the game only becomes more exciting as the years go on.
Stardew Valley
If you are someone that is into farming simulations, then you are probably more than familiar with Stardew Valley. Though this game originally started off as a single-player game, over the last few years it has become multiplayer and developers are working on making the game cross-platform.
In this game, you get to experience the life of a new farmer trying to follow in their grandfather’s footsteps. Away from the farming side of the game, there is also the possibility to build relationships with other villagers and explore spooky mines.
You can also completely abandon farming altogether and live as a humble fisherman, there really are a lot of options, depending on what you look for in gameplay. The game has been incredibly successful and it has a very dedicated fanbase who are excited for the next instalment of the game where you get to work as a chocolatier in a haunted mansion.
