Hyper Light Breaker, the highly anticipated sequel to the indie hit Hyper Light Drifter, significantly departs from its predecessor's formula. Trading its 2D pixel art for a stunning 3D world (without sacrificing visual appeal), it blends rogue-lite gameplay with extraction mechanics, and importantly, adds multiplayer.

Cooperative play is a central feature, enhancing the experience and making challenges more manageable. This guide explains how to team up with friends, and how to join public matches for online matchmaking.

How To Play Hyper Light Breaker With Friends

To play Hyper Light Breaker cooperatively with friends, you'll need to create a private multiplayer room. After arriving at the Cursed Outpost, the game's hub, approach the counter to the left of your commander, Pherus Bit.

Press the Interact button (usually R1 or RB) to access the Multiplayer menu. Here, you can create or join teams and view invitations. To play with friends, 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 teams of up to three players.

If your friends are online, invitations will appear in the "Invitations" tab. Otherwise, they can join using the provided link. Your team may also appear in the "Join Breaker Team" list, allowing friends to join directly.

Once your friends accept, and you've shared the password, you're ready for co-op action!

Random Online Matchmaking In Hyper Light Breaker

If you're looking for multiplayer action without needing friends who own the game, public groups are available. Create your own (without a password) or join a random one.

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

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

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