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 compelling multiplayer component. This guide details how to play cooperatively with friends and how to utilize the game's online matchmaking system.

Playing with Friends in Hyper Light Breaker

To enjoy co-op gameplay with friends, you'll need to create a private multiplayer room. Upon arriving at 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. Here, you can create a team, join a team, or check invitations. Select "Create Breaker Team."

Enable "Password Required" and set a password. This creates your private team. 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 accept the invitation (remember to share the password!), you're ready for co-op action.

Random Online Matchmaking in Hyper Light Breaker

If you lack friends playing Hyper Light Breaker, the game offers public matchmaking. You can create your own public group (without a password) or join a random one.

In the Cursed Outpost's Multiplayer menu, choose "Join Breaker Team," then scroll down and select "Join Random Public Breaker Team."

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, quitting the game will also end the session.
