Multiplayer games always bring a mix of fun and challenge, blending different genres for everyone to enjoy. As 2025 approaches, gamers have a lot to look forward to. Here are the top five multiplayer games we are excited about, along with a few honourable mentions.
Our top multiplayer games for 2025
Monster Hunter Wilds
- Monster Hunter Wilds (February 28 – PC, PS5, Xbox Series S|X)
The year kicks off with Monster Hunter Wilds from CAPCOM. Like its predecessor, Monster Hunter World, this game lets you hunt massive monsters alone or team up with friends for a more thrilling experience. You can even launch a flare mid-hunt to call for help.
The game features larger zones and dynamic weather, which makes multiplayer game sessions more exciting. This time, lobbies can host up to 100 players, creating an even bigger sense of community.
Dune Awakening
- Dune Awakening (Q1 2025 – PC, consoles later)
Set in the world of Arrakis, Dune Awakening combines MMORPG and survival gameplay. Developed by Funcom, the game lets players create clans and align with major houses like Atreides or Harkonnen.
The desert planet brings unique challenges, such as harsh weather and sandworms. Players can harvest spice, which is valuable but comes with risks like addiction. The competition for spice adds tension, making it a promising addition to 2025’s lineup.
Borderlands 4
- Borderlands 4 (TBA 2025 – PC, PS5, Xbox Series S|X)
The Borderlands series has always been about chaotic, fun multiplayer game action, and Borderlands 4 promises to take it further. While Gearbox hasn’t shared many details yet, the addition of tools like grappling hooks and seamless zones will likely make co-op gameplay even better.
Whether you’re chasing legendary loot or battling bosses, playing with friends makes everything more entertaining.
Elden Ring: Nightreign
- Elden Ring Nightreign (TBA 2025 – PC, PS5, Xbox Series S|X)
At The Game Awards 2024, FromSoftware surprised everyone with Elden Ring Nightreign. Instead of a direct sequel, this spin-off blends survival and Battle Royale elements.
Players must survive for three in-game days before facing a boss to end the session. With its shrinking map and intense multiplayer focus, it’s shaping up to be a unique experience.
PIONER
- PIONER (TBA 2025 – PC, consoles later)
Described as a STALKER-like MMOFPS, PIONER is all about exploring a shared online world. Developed by GFA Games, players can team up for PvE raids, form clans, or battle in PvP zones.
With its mix of cooperation and competition, this game has been on fans’ radar for a while. A 2025 release via Steam seems likely, and expectations are high.

- ARC Raiders
- Killing Floor 3
