The Quarry is finally here and summer camp is almost over. During your time with the game, you will make important decisions, find evil new creatures and, most importantly, make new friendships. If you're looking to improve your friendships, you may need to know about the many The Quarry Multiplayer modes out there.

With so many important decisions to make, you may want to grab a few friends and really brainstorm what your next actions should be. The Quarry is a creepy game with so much death so you have to have a think about your plans.

If you've finally been playing through it and recognise some of that excellent cast, here's what we know about The Quarry voice actors.

The Quarry Multiplayer - Offline

If you're looking to play The Quarry multiplayer offline, there are a few major ways for you to play.

There is a "pass the controller" style mode where you and up to 7 friends can choose characters and make all their decisions.

This is the most engaging way to play with friends and lets you choose almost every decision, turning it into one that's impossible to predict no matter how many of The Quarry endings you've seen already.

If you don't want to do it like this, you can always choose to watch the movie mode, choosing an ending and letting the game play itself. If you just want to watch a movie with friends, this is a great way to do so.

The Quarry Multiplayer - Online

If you're looking to play The Quarry online, unfortunately, we haven't seen any confirmation of a friend pass just yet. If you want to play it online, it offers a slightly different experience.

Rather than offering characters for people to take control over, it allows everyone playing to vote on what options players want to choose. For this reason, there aren't quite as many decisions to make but it's an interesting gimmick that leaves multiplayer and singleplayer feeling surprisingly different.

If you haven't picked it up yet and want to know whether or not we think it will come to Xbox Game Pass, here's what we know about The Quarry on Game Pass. And if you're still on the fence about picking up the game, check out our review of The Quarry to help make a decision.

To see what another one of our writers thought about the opening moments of the game, our The Quarry preview makes for an interesting companion piece now that the game is out in the hands of the many.
