> Understand the options for creating multiplayer games in Unity.

Use Unity to create a multiplayer game that hosts players locally or over a network.

If you're just getting started with multiplayer games, the recommended entry point is the [Multiplayer Center](https://docs.unity.com/en-us/multiplayer/multiplayer-center.md), which recommends Unity packages and services based on the needs of your game. It also has samples and tutorials to help you get started making a multiplayer game.

Learn more in the [Unity Multiplayer documentation](https://docs.unity.com/multiplayer.md).
