The games can be played individually or simultaneously by multiple players.
It is certainly undeniable that the multiplayer games sector manages to involve a greater number of people interested in playing them and are increasingly attractive on the market, while titles for single players, with rare exceptions, almost never manage to reach the staggering numbers who quickly reach the top.
Electronic group gaming can be based on a cooperative, competition or race mode (with occasional alliances or real teams), and can be of the Player versus environment (PvE) or Player versus player (PvP) type; another important feature, if the game is in remote connection, is the possibility of having some type of communication between players, via text chat or audio transmission (and although still in the experimental phase, also video).
Some video games offer both multiplayer mode, with a number of players that can be fixed or variable, and single player mode.
