BioShock 2: Does the game have a multiplayer mode? bioshock2 Guide

Last update: 22 May 2022

On this page, you will learn whether BioShock 2 remaster has a multiplayer mode or not. We are talking about BioShock: The Collection set (available on PC, PS4, and XONE).

Unfortunately, no, the multiplayer mode was removed from the remastered version of BioShock 2. You won't find any buttons in the main menu or the Extras menu for switching to the multiplayer mode - the Extras menu gives you access to the two single-player add-ons (Protector Trials and Minerva's Den). This isn't an entirely unprecedented situation. For example, the PS4 remasters of the first three Uncharted games also lacked the multiplayer modes that were available in the second and third parts of the series.

The lack of multiplayer in BioShock 2 remaster means that you can get the platinum trophy by playing only the single-player mode. This means that the platinum trophy in the remastered version is much less difficult to unlock - the original version has over 10 multiplayer achievements/trophies.

If you still own the original version of BioShock 2 (released in 2010 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360), then you will be able to access the multiplayer mode. It offers 6 playable characters (as you play, they can be promoted to new ranks and get new items of equipment) and up to 7 different game modes (e.g. classic deathmatch, protect the Little Sister, hunting for the player - Big Daddy). We recommend checking the Multiplayer chapter in our guide where we e.g. tell you how to accumulate the ADAM in multiplayer and what exactly can be unlocked with new character levels.
