from PUBG to Among Us
At the time of the global epidemic of coronavirus, online games have become something of a lifeline for a huge number of gamers around the globe. In such games, you can not only have a pleasant evening or two, but also fully communicate with your friends or even make new ones altogether. At the moment, on the network you can find an insane amount of all kinds of games with a multiplayer component, with a variety of genres: shooters, action games, RPGs, turn-based strategies and many others.
In today’s article, we’ll take a look at 30 of the best online games on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and other platforms. But, before going directly to the TOP, you need to mention our selection rules. First, multiplayer should be a priority in the game. Secondly, the number of online players may vary, but we deliberately excluded (almost all) MMORPG games from the list, because they need to be considered in a separate TOP.
