If you’ve worked in a kitchen or maybe even just watched The Bear on Hulu, you can understand that cooking is far from a solo activity. In fact, a lead chef is often only as effective as the team around them. In that spirit, Big Cheese Studio, the team behind Cooking Simulator, is adding multiplayer to their sequel. This was definitely something the fans of this fun cooking sim wanted to see, so let’s explore what might be possible with the new entry in the series.

In Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together, players will work to build their brand new restaurant into a booming hotspot, solidifying their place as the best chef in town. Beginning with a small burger joint, you’ll work hard to learn the ropes of a kitchen and turn your humble shop into a five-star restaurant. It’s a creative way to push progression that worked quite well in the first game in the series.

As you earn more money selling burgers, you can go ahead and expand your offerings. As your menu grows, so too will your need for help. That’s where friends can join in and assist with a brand new multiplayer mode. Big Cheese Studio is also confirming that all recipes will be open for the multiplayer function, meaning there aren’t any limitations to what you and friends can do in the game. As meals become more complicated and customers demand more, you’ll definitely want to make sure you have a good team by your side.

Multiplayer will also be available in the new sandbox mode. This is a place where you and your friends can simply cook together and create recipes based on all of the skills and ingredients you master in the main mode of the game. You can even have friends over for dinner at your apartment and cook for them while they keep you company and hang out.

If you played the first entry, then you know how fun this game is. The multiplayer mode seems to be a great addition that will definitely make this a go-to party title. The game’s release is set for Q4 2023 and can be wishlisted now on Steam.
