Hyper Light Breaker Multiplayer Guide: Friends and Randoms

Hyper Light Breaker, the 3D rogue-lite successor to Hyper Light Drifter, introduces a significant new element: multiplayer. This guide covers playing co-op with friends and joining random public groups.

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."

Set "Password Required" to "On" and enter a password. Invite up to two friends via your platform's social features (PSN, Xbox, and Steam are supported). The game supports three-player groups.

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 join directly.

Once your friends join and enter the password, you're ready for co-op!

Random Online Matchmaking in Hyper Light Breaker

If you lack Hyper Light Breaker-playing friends, you can join public groups. In the Cursed Outpost's Multiplayer menu, select "Join Breaker Team."

Scroll down and choose "Join Random Public Breaker Team." The game will find an available public group (without a password) and place you in it.

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, simply quit the game.
