Who it is for

Whether you play for fun or to win, there is a place for you.

Two friends waving at each other from their homes, their screens linked

For everyone

Invite a friend from your game list, the match starts as soon as they accept. Or walk into a room and play with whoever is there, nice and easy! And every challenge comes with missions to fill, on your own or with the whole community, that earn you recoins to spend in the shop: avatars, frames, titles, mixtapes…
