Multiplayer Games for Android: Play Online With Friends

What multiplayer means on Android

Multiplayer is not one genre. This tag mixes shooters, football, cricket, party games and fighting games, with the common point that you play against or with real people. That changes how you should treat the download, because an online game depends on its servers, not only on the file you install.

If your main interest is shooting, see battle royale and FPS. For head to head competition try PvP, and if you are offline more often than not, offline games are the safer bet.

How to choose a multiplayer game

Decide who you will play with. Party games like Super Sus need a full lobby and are best when friends join you. Football and cricket reward people who know the sport and enjoy slow, skill based matches. Shooters are quick to jump into but ask for a stable connection and a phone that holds frame rate.

Also look at how much a match costs you in time. A short round fits a commute, while a full football match needs a quiet twenty minutes.

What to check before installing

Read the Android version requirement and file size first. Big titles often download extra data after the first start, so use Wi-Fi. Be honest about MODs here: in an online game, a modified client can fail to connect, get kicked from matchmaking, or put an account at risk of a ban, so do not use an account you care about. Single player modes in a MOD tend to work better than ranked play. Always keep the original version around for online sessions. More tips live in guides, and you can browse more titles in Games.
