In computer and video gaming, single-player refers to the variant of a particular game where input from only one player is expected throughout the course of the gaming session. A "single-player game" usually implies a game that can only be played by one person, while "single-player mode" usually refers to a option in an otherwise multiplayer game that allows for play by one player.

A multiplayer game is a video game in which more than one person can play the same game at the same time. Unlike most other games, computer and video games are often single-player activities because the computing power exists to create artificial opponents. In multiplayer games, players either all compete against each other (called player versus player or PVP), or team up to achieve a common goal such as defeating an enemy that can consist of either computer or human players (called team play). Usually multiplayer games either use computer networking to allow players to play together or require the players to gather around a single game system to play.
