What Infinity Nikki multiplayer features are available at launch?
The multiplayer in Infinity Nikki’s lets you connect with other players, but not exactly play with them (at the moment).
Yes, Infinity Nikki’s multiplayer is a little lacking at launch. There technically is a multiplayer feature, but it might not be as deep as what you’re looking for, or what you’ve come to expect from this sort of game. But while you can’t explore the world alongside your friends, at least you can take pictures and share them with others!
Here’s what multiplayer features are available at launch and how to add your friends in Infinity Nikki.
Infinity Nikki multiplayer features explained
There is no co-op multiplayer in Infinity Nikki, but there is an asynchronous photo sharing feature, and you’re able to chat with your friends.
Interestingly, the PlayStation website and store stated that you’re able to play Infinity Nikki with up to “five online players”, but the PlayStation Store has since been updated to “1 online player” — and that seems to match our experience. (Although there hasn’t been any confirmation on co-op multiplayer by developer InFold, there also hasn’t been any refutation, so there’s still a chance one day!)
In the meantime, there is some multiplayer functionality, such as adding friends and chatting with them in the Pear-Pal app, but the biggest multiplayer feature is finding photos taken by other Nikkis around the map.

While you’re exploring the map, you may find a floating purple hourglass, which includes a photo taken by another Nikki in that exact location. Interact with the hourglass to view and like the image, add the player, or even take a photo with the other Nikki. If you decide to take a photo with them, your photo will be sent to the other player as well.
If you’re not finding any hourglasses in your world, you may need to reach Skilled Stylist and progress a bit farther in the main quest line.
How to add friends in Infinity Nikki
To add a friend in Infinity Nikki, you’ll first need to reach the town of Florawish and speak with Dada in the Stylist’s Guild. Reaching Florawish and speaking to Dada is part of the main quest line, and can take around 30 to 45 minutes.
Afterwards, follow the steps below to add friends in Infinity Nikki:
While not confirmed, in our experience you’re not able to add players in other regions or servers. Unfortunately, you and your international friends may not be able to take photos together for now.
Now that you’ve added your friends in Infinity Nikki, grab more clothes to upgrade your outfits and take even more photos together! Take a look at our beginner’s guide for some tips for when you play.
