Whether you?re hanging out together and playing games or staying connected from afar with friends and family, online gaming with your mates can be loads of fun.

There are plenty of great multiplayer games to keep you and your friends entertained, just make sure your mobile plan, long expiry plan or data-only plan has sufficient mobile data for your extended gaming sessions!

Check out ten of our favourite online multiplayer mobiles games, then pick your favourite, jump on your iPhone, Android or tablet, and enjoy.

1. Minecraft: Pocket Edition
Minecraft is one of the most popular video games for all age groups.

Pocket Edition plays the same as the original PC version. The option to play with friends includes playing locally, which means you can join the same game via Wi-Fi if you and your friends are all connected to the same network.

If you?re not using the same network, you can join the game together by playing on the same server. Minecraft Pocket is one of the best multiplayer mobile games going around. It's also a great way to connect and spend time with your younger family members.

Players: 5 (locally)
Available on iOS and Android for $10.99 AUD on both stores.
2. PUBG
UBG (pronounced pub-gee) stands for PlayerUnknown?s Battlegrounds and is an online multiplayer battle royale. PUBG helped bring the battle royale genre into the mass popularity it reached.

If you?ve never played a battle royale game before, it involves each player being dropped into a map, each at random spawn points, with the goal to be the last player standing. PUBG is one of the best games to play with friends on the phone or the computer if you enjoy shooters, so it might not be the best for casual gamers. To play with friends, add each other to your friends? lists in the game, then invite them to play a game with you.
