If you’ve spent any time scrolling through social media since Infinity Nikki launched, you’ve probably seen clips of its stunning open world, endless customizable outfits, and whimsical exploration mechanics. It’s easily one of the most talked about dress-up games of the last few years, and as someone who’s logged over 80 hours running around Miraland collecting every rare accessory I can find, I get the hype. One question I see pop up in every community forum and Discord server almost daily is is there coop in Infinity Nikki. A lot of players want to explore the world, hunt for outfits, and take cute photos with their friends, so I decided to put together this full breakdown of all current and upcoming multiplayer features to answer that question clearly.
Is There Coop in Infinity Nikki Right Now?
Let’s get the most common question out of the way first: As of the latest game update, there is no full seamless open world story coop available for players yet. That means you can’t currently invite a friend to join your main playthrough, progress through story quests side by side, or wander the entire map together in an uninstanced space. I’ll be honest, I was pretty disappointed when I first realized this after launch, since I’d been looking forward to hunting for rare outfit drops with my little sister who’s also a huge Nikki series fan. But official devs have confirmed that full story coop is in active development, and there are already a ton of fun instanced multiplayer activities that feel like coop for most casual players. Most of the community even refers to these shared activities as coop, since you’re working toward shared rewards and goals with other players you know.
Multiplayer Activities You Can Enjoy With Friends Today
Even without full open world coop, there are plenty of ways to play with your friends in Infinity Nikki right now. All of these features unlock once you hit account level 20, which takes most new players 5 to 7 hours of casual play to reach. Some of the most popular shared activities include:
I’ve spent most of my recent playtime running these activities with my friend group, and they’re way more engaging than I expected them to be. For example, last week we teamed up for a spring-themed fashion contest, and we all coordinated pastel floral outfits to match the prompt. We ended up placing second overall, and we all got limited-edition cherry blossom hair clips that aren’t available anywhere else in the game right now. These activities don’t just feel like afterthoughts either, the rewards are well worth the time you put into them, and it’s way easier to beat high level world bosses when you’re playing with people you know instead of random matchmade players.
What We Know About Upcoming Full Coop Features
Back in March, the dev team posted an official content road map on the game’s official Discord server that laid out all planned features for the year, and full coop was one of the biggest highlights. Seamless open world coop for up to 4 players is scheduled to drop in the next major content update, which is expected to launch sometime in the next two months. When it launches, you’ll be able to send invites to friends on your in-game friend list to join your world, or join theirs, with no loading screens between the main open world and your shared play session. All story progress you make while playing coop will count for every player in the group, as long as they’ve already completed the prerequisite quests for that part of the story. That means you won’t have to replay quests you already beat just to help a friend get through a tough part. Cross-platform coop will be supported across PC, mobile, and console versions, so you can play with friends no matter what device they use to run the game. If you want to get a head start for when coop launches, make sure you’ve completed the main story up to Chapter 5, as that will be the minimum requirement to unlock the feature.
Common Coop Questions Answered For New Players
I see a lot of the same questions pop up over and over again in community spaces when people ask about coop, so I wanted to clear up some of the most common confusion here. First, you don’t need to purchase the battle pass or any paid DLC to access current or future coop features. All multiplayer content is free for every player, regardless of whether you spend money on the game or not. You don't have to link any social media accounts to play with friends either, you can add people using their unique in-game user ID if you prefer to keep your personal social accounts private. A lot of new players also ask if they can trade outfit items with friends during coop sessions. Right now, you can only trade furniture and common crafting materials with players on your friend list, but the dev team has mentioned that outfit trading is being considered for a later update after full coop launches. Finally, don’t worry about losing progress if you switch between single player and coop. All outfits, currency, and quest progress you earn in one mode will carry over seamlessly to the other, so you never have to worry about wasting your time.
So if you’ve been wondering is there coop in Infinity Nikki, the short answer is that full open world story coop isn’t available yet, but there are plenty of fun shared activities to enjoy with your friends right now, and the full coop feature is just a couple of months away. I’ve had more fun with the current multiplayer features than I have with most full coop modes in other casual games, and I’m already planning to spend the first week of the coop update running around Miraland with my sister collecting every rare outfit we can find. If you want to stay up to date on the exact release date for full coop, keep an eye on the in-game notice board, as the dev team usually posts update announcements there a week before they go live.
