local multiplayer

Local multiplayer refers to a gaming setup where multiple players participate simultaneously on the same device or local network. This can involve sharing a single screen or using multiple screens, and all players are physically present in the same location. Examples include playing console games with friends on one TV, or multiplayer computer games on a single PC. It contrasts with online multiplayer, where players connect over the internet from different locations. Local multiplayer fosters direct interaction and social gaming experiences, making it ideal for group entertainment and social gatherings.
