To boil it down to its simplest terms, a multiplayer game is a type of video game where more than one person can play simultaneously. While single-player video games are usually geared around one player competing with AI opponents and achieving predefined goals, multiplayer games are designed around interaction with other human players. These interactions can be in the form of competition, partnership, or simply social engagement. How these multiple player interactions are implemented can vary depending on factors such as location and genre, from fighter games with same screen multiplayer to online multiplayer role-playing games, with users sharing a common environment. In this next section, we will look at some of the various ways multiplayer interactions can be included in video games.
