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 key new feature: multiplayer. This guide details how to play cooperatively with friends and how to utilize the random 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. 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) or can join using the provided invitation link. Alternatively, your team might appear in the "Join Breaker Team" list, allowing friends to join directly.

Once your friends join and enter the password, you're ready to begin your co-op run.

Random Online Matchmaking in Hyper Light Breaker

If you lack friends playing Hyper Light Breaker, the game offers public matchmaking.

In the Cursed Outpost's Multiplayer menu, choose "Join Breaker Team," then select "Join Random Public Breaker Team" at the bottom.

The game will search for available public teams and place you in one if found. After a brief loading screen, you'll join the host's game.

To leave a multiplayer session, return to the counter in the Cursed Outpost, open the Multiplayer menu, and select the "Disconnect" option (appearing only when in a session). Alternatively, simply quitting the game will also end the session.
