Playing video games with your friends is more fun than playing alone, as what’s better than having your buddies by your side in the game? And if you’ve been planning to get your hands on some multiplayer games, then you might need to check out this latest bundle from Humble Bundle, which offers seven titles.

For gamers on the Steam Deck, finding multiplayer games to invest time into isn’t always easy. Some anti-cheat solutions aren’t too friendly with the Linux-based handheld, with GTA V being a recent example. However, we think this bundle is a sleeper pick; none of the games have official ‘Verified’ status, but that doesn’t stop most of them from (reportedly) working fine.


Today's best pre Black Friday deal!

If you're in the market for a new gaming PC this November, then this high-end ZOTAC Gaming MEK Hero PC might be exactly what youre looking for - equipped with AMD's Ryzen 7 7700X and an RTX 4080 Super.

Prices correct as of November 13th, 2024.


Madcap Multiplayer Missions bundle

The Break-In, Blazing Sails, The Greatest Penguin Heist of All Time, Tower Unite, Murky Divers, Perfect Heist 2, First Class Trouble

What does the Madcap Multiplayer Missions bundle offer?

From letting you sneak into a house to fighting other players at sea, the Madcap Multiplayer Missions Game Bundle has everything. If you want all seven games, you will need to pay $16 in total – though you can pay a higher amount if you’d like to give more to the publishers, Humble, and charity.

Most of these games also reportedly run fine on the Steam Deck, but we can’t find out if Blazing Sails can also be played on the handheld. In any case, you can find a complete list of games included in the Madcap Multiplayer Missions bundle below and their Steam Deck compatibility status.

Is the bundle worth getting?

The Madcap Multiplayer Missions bundle offers some exciting titles that can keep you attached to your screens for weeks or months. First, we have The Break-In. This is an online co-op burglary game where you can sneak into houses, stores, and casino vaults to steal whatever you can. It can be played with up to four players, and the items you steal can be later sold for a profit. This money can be used to purchase new thief equipment.

Next, we have Murky Divers, in which you can dive with up to 8 players to the bottom of the ocean. Your team’s sole mission is to remove all corpses from your employer’s abandoned labs and erase any evidence of their failed experiments. However, this won’t be as easy as it sounds, as you will be constantly surrounded by danger, and your oxygen will also be limited.

If you want to get more games, you can check out Fanatical’s Fantasy bundle, which can help you get 18 Steam Deck games. Also, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, then you can get over 40 games for free right now.
