Hyper Light Breaker: How To Play With Friends

Hyper Light Breaker Multiplayer Guide: Friends and Randoms

Hyper Light Breaker, the 3D rogue-lite successor to Hyper Light Drifter, introduces a significant multiplayer component. This guide details how to play cooperatively with friends and how to utilize the random online matchmaking system.

Playing with Friends in Hyper Light Breaker

To play co-op with friends, you'll need to create a private multiplayer room. From the Cursed Outpost hub, approach the counter to the left of Pherus Bit.

Interact with the counter (typically R1 or RB) to access the Multiplayer menu. Select "Create Breaker Team." Enable "Password Required" and set a password. Then, invite up to two friends via your platform's social features (PSN, Xbox, and Steam are supported). The game supports three-player teams.

Invited friends will receive an in-game notification if online. Otherwise, they can join using the invitation link. Your team might also appear in the "Join Breaker Team" list, allowing friends to directly join your private group. Ensure your friends know the password.

Random Online Matchmaking in Hyper Light Breaker

For multiplayer without friends who own the game, public groups are available. You can create your own public group (without a password) or join a random one.

In the Cursed Outpost's Multiplayer menu, select "Join Breaker Team," then scroll down and choose "Join Random Public Breaker Team." The game will match you with an available public team. A short load screen will follow.

To leave a multiplayer session, return to the counter in the Cursed Outpost, open the Multiplayer menu, and select the "Disconnect" option (which appears only when in a session). Alternatively, you can quit the game.
