Indie Multiplayer Games - Co-op, PvP and Online

Small studios make some of the best games to play with friends. Browse indie co-op, PvP and online games ranked by players, check how each one handles servers and matchmaking, and find a group to play with.

Indie multiplayer games are online or local co-op and PvP games from independent developers. A multiplayer game only works with people online at the same time, so community size, server setup and regional activity matter as much as the gameplay.

Before you invite friends: what to check

  • Player mode and group size. Co-op, PvP or both, and how many players a session supports.
  • Server type. Dedicated servers run independently of players; listen or peer-to-peer sessions end when the host leaves. Some games let you rent or self-host a server, which keeps a group's world alive.
  • Population and region. For matchmaking games, check that people play in your region and time zone; the Discord link on the game page is the quickest way to find out.
  • Crossplay and platforms. Make sure everyone in your group owns the game on a platform that can play together.
  • Anti-cheat and moderation for PvP games, and clear rules for public servers.

Only have local co-op? On Steam, Remote Play Together can stream local multiplayer games to friends online.

For developers: solving the empty-lobby problem

The biggest threat to an indie multiplayer game is an empty server browser. Plan for it: schedule community play sessions, keep a solo or bot mode so early players can still enjoy the game, and make it easy to invite friends. Put your Discord link on your Mutop100 page so players who find you here can find a group too.

The tech options are mature: Steamworks networking and Epic Online Services cover lobbies and relays, Photon, Mirror, Fish-Net and Unity's Netcode cover Unity projects, Godot has a built-in high-level multiplayer API, Unreal has replication and dedicated servers, and open-source backends such as Nakama and Colyseus handle accounts and matchmaking.

Mutop100 started as a ranking for online game servers, so its players already vote daily for communities they belong to. That habit is exactly what a growing multiplayer game needs. Planning something persistent? See indie MMORPGs.

Indie multiplayer games: mga madalas itanong

What is the difference between co-op and PvP?

Co-op games have players working together against the game; PvP games have players competing against each other. Many games mix both, which listings mark as Co-op + PvP.

Do indie multiplayer games have dedicated servers?

Some do, others use player-hosted or peer-to-peer sessions. Check the game's store page or Discord; it changes how reliable sessions are and whether a world persists when the host is offline.

How do I find people to play an indie game with?

Join the game's Discord from its Mutop100 page, look for scheduled community nights, and vote for games you enjoy so more players discover them.
