What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?
So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren’t co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.
Valheim
Left4Dead2 can be played by 1-4 players. Empty player slots are filled by AI bots.
Pills here!

Can vouch for Deep Rock Galactic, Ember Knights, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and Factorio
Edit: Pulsar: Lost Colony is also good, but you’ll need to have two bots as well
Factorio is a dangerous, but very fun, suggestion =)
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is fantastic.
Came here to recommend this one too!

Didn’t realize it could do more than 2! That’s wonderful!
Elden Ring is a great one, especially with the Seamless Co-op Mod. Besides that, my friends and I used to play Borderlands 2 and Outriders.
This is true but the invasion mechanics can make it very stressful for new players. Its worth the investment though!
That’s another amazing part about the Seamless Co-op Mod. You can completely turn off invasions if you want. It makes the game so much more playable if you just want to play with friends and not have your progress set back by every try-hard who gets off by ruining other people’s fun.
Ohhh mod, my dumb ass read mode and I thought you just meant “seamless” reltive to the other soulsborne games

Astroneer, Raft, and if you like mindless indie stuff Generation Zero.
Remnant 1 & 2 if you like souls type third person shooters.
Dungeon of the Endless and the new version Endless Dungeon.
Ever heard of the Trine series? 5 games by now (can only speak about the first 4 though), and they are really fun together. Basically 2d puzzle games with 3 different characters that all have their own abilities, which leads to many different ways to solve puzzles. Highly recommended.
I also highly recommend the trine series.
I haven’t seen it mentioned, but Minecraft is also multiplayer.
As is the open variant: Minetest (Mineclone mod if you want vanilla)!
For the king. Made for 3 people
Unreal Tournament 2004, with few players it turns its normal frantic and fast paced gameplay into a suspensfull slower experience which is awesome.
I think you can get it on the internet archive as it stopped being sold on gog and steam this spring.
OpenRA - Do you remember the old classic series Command & Conquer ?
OpenRA takes the old original game, updates the controls to modern RTS controls, add new ai to play against, add support for modern resolutions and adds a good internet multiplayer system, all of this for free!
OpenRA can be downloaded att https://openra.net
Nobody mentioned the finals. Free to play fps competitive shooter with teams of 3. It’s been crazy addictive for my friends and I. If you like fast paced hectic fps games it’s loads of fun.
Trine 2! It’s a side-scrolling action/puzzle platformer, and a rare game actually made for 3.
Remnant 1 and 2 are both 3 players
Sea of Thieves
