Multiplayer games are video games that are played by multiple people over the internet or a local network. These games can be divided into two categories: synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer. In synchronous multiplayer, all players are connected to the game at the same time and can interact with each other in real-time. Examples of synchronous multiplayer games include first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. In asynchronous multiplayer, players take turns and do not need to be connected to the game at the same time. Examples of asynchronous multiplayer games include turn-based strategy games and card games. Multiplayer games can be played on a variety of platforms, including consoles, PC, and mobile devices.
