The thing to keep in mind is that you must be around a similar level of the player you’re looking to join. There are two ways to go about playing cooperatively: You can summon a player for help, or you can request to be summoned to assist in defeating a boss. Typically, even if your co-op partner isn’t the greatest player in the world, having an additional player can make all the difference in the world when attempting to defeat a boss. What do you do? You could grind for Souls to overlevel yourself, but where’s the fun in that? Instead, we recommend summoning another player for help. You’ve been stuck on a boss for hours, you don’t have the Souls to level up, and have exhausted all your options to proceed.
Either way, here’s everything you’ll need to know about playing online in Demon’s Souls. You’ll absolutely want to summon help to defeat a tough boss, or - when you’re ready - invade another player’s world to keep them on their toes. Unlike many traditional online games that feature an easy way to invite and play with friends, Demon’s Souls makes you work for it. The Demon’s Souls remake for PS5 uses a similar multiplayer system as the rest of the games in the series.
