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

Cooperative play is a core feature, making the challenges and rewards more enjoyable with a fellow Breaker by your side. This guide details how to play with friends and how to use online matchmaking to join random public groups.

How To Play Hyper Light Breaker With Friends

To play Hyper Light Breaker co-op, create a private multiplayer room. After spawning in the Cursed Outpost hub, approach the counter to the left of Commander Pherus Bit.

Press the Interact button (usually R1 or RB) to access the Multiplayer menu. Here, you can create or join teams and check invitations. To play with friends, select "Create Breaker Team."

Enable "Password Required" and set a password. Invite up to two friends using 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 and enter the password, you're ready for co-op action.

Random Online Matchmaking In Hyper Light Breaker

If you lack Hyper Light Breaker-playing friends, public groups offer a way to connect with others. Create your own public group (without a password) or join a random one.

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

The game will find an available public team and place you in it. After a brief loading screen, you'll join the host's world.

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