Quick answers

Is Dungeon Defenders co-op?
Yes, Dungeon Defenders supports co-op.
Does Dungeon Defenders have PvP?
Steam does not list PvP for Dungeon Defenders.
Do we both need to own Dungeon Defenders to play together?
Not always. Dungeon Defenders supports Steam Remote Play Together: one person who owns it hosts and streams a local session to friends who don't (Steam quotes up to four players, more on a fast connection). For online co-op or PvP, every player needs their own copy.
How many people play Dungeon Defenders?
About 284 players were in-game when this page's data was last refreshed (2026-09-09).
Does Dungeon Defenders have split-screen or local multiplayer?
Yes. Steam lists Dungeon Defenders with shared/split-screen play on one PC — and it supports Remote Play Together, so a friend can join that local session over the internet.
