The world of gaming has extended its tendrils to smartphones. Where we once had games like the infamous Snake on classic Nokia headsets, we now have titles like Batman and Need for Speed either porting console quality games to phones or exclusively developing games that cater to phones.
The point is that mobile phone gaming has come dangerously close to the console leagues and where for some this may be a point of concern, gamers are enjoying the competition.
A prominent niche when it comes to mobile gaming platforms is that of Android. Google’s operating system gives tough competition to its Apple counterpart, annually. And it shows absolutely no restraint in the gaming department as well.
Since we’re on Google’s side here, and love games just like you, this article will give you a neat listicle of the best multiplayer games out there currently. Titles that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
So come on along, let’s get cracking!

Attracting a massive number of players solely because of the sweet trip down memory lane.
Efforts have also been made to bring as many game modes as possible to the mobile game. Prop hunting, one-for-all, one-in-the-chamber, party modes, and themed events are all in here. Give the developers some time and we’re sure they’re going to throw in a mini Warzone as well.
Genshin Impact
