Zenless Zone Zero launched on July 4, 2024, and it’s packed full of content to play but can you enjoy the game with friends in multiplayer or co-op?

The latest game from HoYoverse puts a futuristic spin on the gacha genre. It retains an exciting character roster like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail but it introduces roguelike mechanics and hostile dungeons to explore.

Before you dive into the Hollows however, you may want to know if friends can be by your side, so here’s everything we know about co-op and multiplayer in the game.

Does Zenless Zone Zero have multiplayer or co-op?

Yes, Zenless Zone Zero does have multiplayer and co-op but it’s limited right now.

You can currently only play the Arcade Mode with friends, which acts as a minigame segment to the main game. To do this follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Random Play Store near the game’s starting area.
  2. Find and interact with the VR device
  3. Select the Reckless Challenge option from the menu of minigames.

Reckless Challenge is a mode where you can fight different bosses either solo or in co-op every week and defeating them provides you with exclusive rewards.

This is currently the only way to play in co-op with your friends but there will be more multiplayer content added in future updates. Zenless Zone Zero producer Zhenyu Li confirmed this in an interview with IGN, where he revealed ‘One thing that I particularly want to share is that the multiplayer battle mode is already under development. I hope players can look forward to this mode in future version updates.’
