Yes, you can play multiplayer games on the Nintendo Switch Lite.

You can play two-, three-, and four-player games on the Nintendo Switch Lite, as well as larger online matches, depending on which play modes the video game supports and how many controllers you have at your disposal. The Nintendo Switch Lite console supports both local and online multiplayer.

There are many pros and cons to owning a Nintendo Switch Lite console. While it is significantly cheaper than the Nintendo Switch and comes in a number of fun colored models, it lacks support for the Dock accessory and thus cannot be played on a TV. The Nintendo Switch Lite also lacks support for tabletop mode.

Unfortunately, these restrictions limit the number of multiplayer video games that can be played on the Nintendo Switch Lite and how they can be played. The good news, however, is that any multiplayer game that supports handheld mode can still be played on the Nintendo Switch Lite, and the number of such games is quite large.
