A multiplayer game is a video or computer game that can be played by multiple players simultaneously, either through a local area network (LAN) or over the internet. In these games, players can interact with each other in real-time and cooperate or compete to achieve common goals or complete challenges. Multiplayer games offer a more social and interactive experience compared to single player games where the player is alone against computer controlled opponents. The popularity of multiplayer games has grown significantly over time, leading to the development of various online gaming communities and eSports events.
