New Delhi: The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the functioning of several countries in the world including India. PM Narendra Modi extended the lockdown till May 3 to combat the further spread of COVID-19. People have no option but to stay locked inside their houses and practice social distancing as it is the need of hour. We can defeat the deadly virus only if we take proper precautionary measures.

Several people are missing their pre-Coronavirus life when they could step out of their houses, grab a bite with friends and watch a movie. Although, we can’t meet our friends and relatives at the moment, we can definitely catch up with them virtually. Why not play a game with your friends and family members during the quarantine period?

After all, the same ‘Wake up, Eat, Work and Sleep’ routine gets boring after a point of time. There are several multiplayer games that are available online which you can play with your loved ones. And guess what? Even the Bollywood celebs are hooked on to them.

All you need is a smartphone, which acts a perfect entertainment tool; through which you can play different games with your friends and family members. Here’s a list of multiplayer online games that you can play at any point of time.

PUBG Mobile

We bet every game enthusiast must know about PUBG or PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It is one of the most played online games in the world. The mobile version of the game- PUBG Mobile, which is gaining significant traction, is available on Android and iOS platforms. It is free-to-play. That's like cherry on the cake.

Our very own Badshah seems to be getting obsessed with PUBG as he shared a post on Instagram along with the caption, “Na na karte pyar tumhi se kar baithe.”



Call of Duty: Mobile

‘Call of Duty’, a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision, has become quite popular in recent times. The game offers the players several modes to choose from. Players have the provision to chat with their teammates using in-game chat feature. That sounds interesting, isn’t it? Just like PUBG, Call of Duty (CoD) Mobile is also free-to-play and it is available on both Android and iOS platforms.

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff is a huge fan of Call of Duty and he even invited the fans to play with him during the promotions of ‘Baaghi 3’. Check out his post!



Ludo King

Remember the summer vacations when we used to play Ludo with our friends. Those were golden days, isn’t it? The popular board game can now be played online with your family members. Ludo King is available on PC, Android and iOS platforms. You can also play the game with your Facebook friends and chat with them while you are winning. The best part is that the game also has snake and ladder mode, which you can play and relive the memories of your childhood.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are spending their quarantine by playing the game.

Carrom Pool

We have spent a major time of our childhood playing carrom with our friends and family members. You will fondly remember playing the game if you are a 90's kid. With the advancement in technology, we have now a digital version of the popular board game. The free-to-play Carrom Pool is available on Android and iOs platforms.

Fortnite

Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, has become a roaring success all thanks to the ‘Fortnit Battle Royal’, which drew over 125 million players in less than a player. The multiplayer online video game is distributed as three different game modes. It is available on Android, iOs, Windows, PS4 and Xbox One. The attractive graphics, art assets and touch optimised controls have made Fortnite quite popular.
