What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?
So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren’t co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.
Left4Dead2 can be played by 1-4 players. Empty player slots are filled by AI bots.

OP What games did you guys end up playing or selecting? Also what platform are you playing on?
Somebody dropped a fair bit of cash and got Balders Gate 3 running for everyone. It’s been big enough to fill a lot of time, but probably wont solve the problem when we’re not all on vacation.
Nobody mentioned the finals. Free to play fps competitive shooter with teams of 3. It’s been crazy addictive for my friends and I. If you like fast paced hectic fps games it’s loads of fun.
Unsorted, quick and probably incomplete list of my personal favourites:
Dude, where Terraria, Magicka 2 and Stardew Valley at??
In your comment? ;)
Nine Parchments and Magicka 2.
Edit: also, the Trine games. And on PlayStation we enjoyed Diablo III and Alienation, both of those are three player as well.
Valheim
I haven’t seen it mentioned, but Minecraft is also multiplayer.
I’m in a poly throuple and we play these games:
-League of Legends
-Super Mecha Champions (It’s like Apex but with bots and the real players aren’t as good so we don’t get absolutely crushed every time we play which is nice)
-Stardew Valley
-Eternal Return (League + Battle Royale)
-Divinity 2
-Overcooked
-Borderlands
-FF14
-Tabletop Simulator (Board Games)
does that mean a relationship between three people? that’s interesting. mind me asking if that was something everyone already knew they were open to? or was it kind of like, two were together then they decided they were open to a third?
Yeah! For us it was me (male) and my girlfriend who have been together 5ish years at the time and we met a girl who we really meshed with and became good friends with. Our friends joked around that we should just all date each other since we hung out so much. One day we got drunk and admitted we’d be open to it so we asked each other out and have been a throuple since!
Most of our friend group is very accepting. Our families, however, are not lol.
cool! good on you. i love hearing about how different everyone’s forms of happiness can be, sorry your families don’t seem to. hopefully they’ll warm up to it eventually
I mean, love it or hate it, Destiny 2 is literally made to be played by (mostly) 3-person teams. I’ve had a boatload of fun with it over the years.
Astroneer, Raft, and if you like mindless indie stuff Generation Zero.
Remnant 1 & 2 if you like souls type third person shooters.
Dungeon of the Endless and the new version Endless Dungeon.
Stellaris allows many players if you like those types of games. Only the host needs dlc if you want to pool your cash and buy some. But yeah it can be expensive.
Unreal Tournament 2004, with few players it turns its normal frantic and fast paced gameplay into a suspensfull slower experience which is awesome.
I think you can get it on the internet archive as it stopped being sold on gog and steam this spring.
OpenRA - Do you remember the old classic series Command & Conquer ?
OpenRA takes the old original game, updates the controls to modern RTS controls, add new ai to play against, add support for modern resolutions and adds a good internet multiplayer system, all of this for free!
OpenRA can be downloaded att https://openra.net
its upcoming game, but abiotic factor seems quite good
