World War 2 was one of the most significant times in all of human history, so much so that it's still widely talked about even now over 80 years later. So, naturally, it makes perfect sense that such an important string of events would find itself further immortalized in our modern age through the medium of video games. In today’s blog post, we’ll be taking a look at 15 examples of World War 2 games that feature an online Player-vs-Player component, starting with…
#15: World War 2: Shooting Games
(iOS/Android)
Starting off this list is a bit of an unknown gem called World War 2: Shooting Games(or World War II: Battle Combat on iOS), a close-quarters rush of WW2 action that you can play on your phone. If you’re looking for some quick, in-your-face action that you can just jump right into, then our #15 is the game for you.
It might not be a graphically award-winning Triple-A title, but Shooting Games is no slouch. In this game, you can play across five different historic WW2 locations in six different game modes, such as Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch, along with more intense and unpredictable game modes like Knife Fight and Bombs Mode. With up to ten players per match, you’ll have to be at the top of your game using assault rifles, rocket launchers, snipers, and many more iconic WW2-era weapons if you want to come out ahead in this no-nonsense world war experience!

#14: World War Heroes — WW2 PvP FPS
(iOS/Android)
At #14, World War Heroes is at first glance pretty similar to the last game on our list, but the important difference is that World War Heroes takes everything a few steps further. In this mobile FPS, up to 16 players can fight for superiority over twelve different historical WW2 battlegrounds, using over 100 different weapons across multiple weapon types. You’ll even be able to operate your own tank across the battlefield in this mobile FPS!
World War Heroes harkens back to old-school WW2 games such as Call of Duty 2 with its close-quarters gameplay, where you can never quite be sure when or where the enemy might appear. Whether you’re playing in modes like Capture the Flag, Officer Defence, or the more standard Team Deathmatch, no match will be quite the same as the last. This game prides itself on its well-optimized mobile gameplay that can almost make you forget that you’re playing the game on your phone and not a home console.

#13: SIEGE: World War II
(iOS/Android)
Unlike the previous two games, SIEGE: World War II stands out as a high-intensity real-time strategy PvP experience. In SIEGE, you will go head-to-head with other players not as a soldier on the front lines, but rather by sending out waves of soldiers, tanks, paratroopers, fighter planes, and much more across the battlefield in order to overwhelm and obliterate your enemies. Do you have what it takes to take on the role of General and shift the tides of the war?
In SIEGE: World War II, you will need to unlock and upgrade a wide variety of unit cards so you can build the perfect deck to crush your enemies. Strategy is key, so you will need to learn how to best utilize your card deck of units if you want to defeat enemy players from around the world. There are constant updates to SIEGE, including new weekly challenges along with frequent seasonal updates that change and intensify the game to keep your battles fresh and electrifying.

#12: Road to Valor: World War II
(iOS/Android)
Sticking with the RTS genre for a bit longer, Road to Valor: World War II puts you in the shoes of a general during WW2 and puts you in control of hundreds of unique units, which you must use to take out whatever enemy lies ahead. In this realistically presented WW2 battlefield, your strategic knowledge and your choice of units will be the deciding factor when determining whether or not you’ll survive the battle waiting for you.
In this Clash Royale RTS battler, you’ll play for either the Allied Nations or the Axis Powers as you fight against other players across the world. In Road to Valor, not only can you choose what units to take into battle, but you can also choose a specific command strategy to determine just how you plan on winning the battles ahead. Utilize the Airborne Ops strategy to litter the battlefield with bombing runs and paratroopers, the Fortification Doctrine strategy to better defend your fortress, and many more strategy options that can be paired with powerful skills to further help you overwhelm your foes!

#11: World War Armies
(PC/iOS/Android)
World War Armies is an RTS game more in line with classic RTS games such as Age of Empires, where you’ll send your squads of units to dominate not just a strip of land but an entire map in order to crush the enemy base. In this game, you’ll engage in high-stakes PvP battles that feel less like a game and more like a clash of military titans in real time.
In World War Armies you’ll have to navigate across the treacherous terrain of multiple battlefields, ranging not only from WW2 but also WW1 and even modern settings. Each map will present you with distinct challenges and strategic opportunities as you fight either in 1v1 or 2v2 PvP battles utilizing a vast array of over 70 different unit types from across the eras. World War Armies promises to immerse you in the high-octane feeling of warfare and push the boundaries of what’s possible in an RTS game, so long as you have the decision-making skills needed to survive.
#10: Sniper Elite 5
(PC/PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series X-S)
Despite most of the focus being on its single-player gameplay, the award-winning Sniper Elite series is no stranger to multiplayer components either. If experiencing the game’s immersive sniping and third-person combat gameplay in single-player wasn’t enough for you, then you can also take part in intense 16-player multiplayer battles to earn XP, medals, and ribbons.
While yes, the main focus of this game is its single-player campaign, you can choose to spice up the experience by taking part in the Invasion Mode, which allows you to play the role of a German sniper to play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the other player going through their own campaign. Or if you’re tired of PvP(despite that being our main topic…), you can also play co-op campaigns or 4-player co-op wave defense missions with your friends. However you decide to play this game, just remember to make every shot you take count.
#9: KARDS - The WW2 Card Game
(PC/Mac/iOS/Android)
World War 2 meets tabletop in KARDS, The WW2 Card Game. KARDS prides itself on blending familiar trading card gameplay and innovative mechanics that create an entirely unique feeling card game, where you will have to utilize well-planned strategies if you want to take control of the battlefield.
Once you build your armies using a wide variety of cards from all sides of World War 2, you’ll have to plan your attack strategies accordingly with the game’s various innovative mechanics if you want to come out the winner. The card’s visuals aren’t just for flavor, as each unit comes with individual properties that help turn the tide of battle in their own ways. You can simply overrun the frontlines using infantry cards, blast your opponents to dust from the safety of your support line using artillery, achieve air superiority to wreak havoc on the ground below using aircraft, and much, much more.

#8: World of Warships
(PC/PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series X-S/iOS/Android)

Choose from any of the 12 in-game nations and fight your way across multiple naval warfare fronts, where you will need to utilize realistically simulated battleship controls to successfully sink enemy vessels, be it from vast distances or while up close and personal. Everything in World of Warships can and will affect the outcome of the battle, be it enemy or friendly ships or the game’s dynamic weather system, where things like rain, snow, or fog aren’t just visual effects but can have a direct influence on a game’s balance of power. Nobody ever said being a ship’s captain was easy, but World of Warships gives you the chance to prove you have what it takes to become the best of the best.

#5: World of Tanks
(PC/Mac/PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch/iOS/Android)
It’s only natural that, if you’re to mention World of Warships, you inevitably bring up its land-based sister game World of Tanks.

In World of Tanks, you’ll travel across plenty of large-scale maps, searching for whatever position will best allow you to tear apart the enemy vehicles you’ll encounter.

#4: Foxhole
(PC)
From the largest of naval warships to the very bullets and the guns that fire them, the players of Foxhole control every individual aspect of the war’s outcome down to the last detail. In Foxhole, a series of wars are forever being fought between two near-identical armies, and it's up to you and your fellow soldiers to prove your dominance against an army of equally determined players.
This massively multiplayer game allows you to do whatever is necessary to secure total victory as the two armies clash to determine control of the game’s enormous map. You can be a soldier on the frontlines shooting the enemy or healing your wounded teammates, a logistics soldier helping deliver supplies to whichever frontline needs it, or one of the thousands helping to gather enough resources to construct bases, entire rail-road systems, nuclear launch silos, and much, much more. If you can think of something that will help win a war, you’ll more than likely be able to do it in Foxhole.
#3: Enlisted
(PC/PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series X-S)
Enlisted is a large-scale MMO shooter that gives an interesting twist to the usual online FPS experience. Instead of fighting on your own across the war, Enlisted puts each player in control of an entire four-man squad of soldiers. Should you ever fall in battle, you’ll be able to hop over to one of the other AI-controlled soldiers in your squad to keep the firefight going until the very last man.
Working together as a squad will help you achieve your goals faster than if you were alone, ranging from more effectively clearing out waves of enemies to building weapon emplacements and defenses more efficiently. The game features 16 different soldier classes that each come with their own perks and specialized weapons, and when you combine that with the over 300 different instances of famous and diverse military equipment found in-game, you’ll be able to adapt to any situation and take over the battlefield however you see fit.
#2: Hell Let Loose
(PC/PS5/Xbox Series X-S)
Hell Let Loose throws its players head-first into some of World War 2’s most iconic battles of the Eastern and Western fronts and pits them in fierce 50v50 multiplayer battles where teamwork is the key to victory.

Choose from any of the game’s 14 soldier classes and take to the frontline in whatever way you think will best help your team win the war. From simple field medics to high-ranking officers and everything in between, you and your team will coordinate large-scale strategic assaults across the battlefront under the leadership of player officers and commanders.
