Multiplayer modes refer to game settings that allow multiple players to participate simultaneously, either locally or online. These modes can vary widely, including competitive formats where players face off against each other, or cooperative formats where players work together to achieve common goals. In many games, such as first-person shooters or role-playing games, multiplayer modes enhance the experience by fostering social interaction and teamwork. Players can join friends or meet new people, making gameplay more dynamic and engaging. Popular platforms for multiplayer gaming include consoles, PCs, and mobile devices.
