Hyper Light Breaker Multiplayer Guide: Co-op and Random Matchmaking
Hyper Light Breaker, the 3D rogue-lite successor to Hyper Light Drifter, introduces a compelling multiplayer component. This guide details how to play co-op with friends and join random online matches.
Playing Hyper Light Breaker with Friends
To play co-op, create a private multiplayer room. In the Cursed Outpost hub, approach the counter to the left of Pherus Bit.
Interact with the counter (usually 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, Steam supported). The game supports three-player groups.
Friends receive invitations in the "Invitations" tab of the Multiplayer menu or can join via the invitation link. Alternatively, your team might appear in the "Join Breaker Team" menu for direct joining.
Once your friends join, you're ready for co-op gameplay.
Random Online Matchmaking in Hyper Light Breaker
For multiplayer without friends, 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 team (without a password).
After a brief load, you'll join the host's game. To leave a multiplayer session, return to the counter, open the Multiplayer menu, and select the "Disconnect" option (appearing only during a multiplayer session). Alternatively, simply quit the game.
