In 2021, the era of the virtual Valentine\u2019s Day is upon us. With most of us still stuck in a lockdown it can be much harder to spend time with our loved ones, but thanks to video games you can still share and celebrate love with your partners, friends, family or even your raiding party this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may feel daunting to come up with ways to connect with each other during this time, it can be difficult to think of something to do that isn\u2019t just a FaceTime or another Zoom quiz we hoped we\u2019d left in 2020. Video games provide fun and innovative ways for us to bond during these disconnected times, no matter your skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVideo games have a long history of creating communities and bringing us together virtually. On a grand scale they can bring millions of us together with online gaming and on an individual level people can begin long-lasting friendships and relationships that began just by playing video games together\u201d says Jessany Van\u2019t Hoff head of global gaming partnerships, HyperX. \u201cDuring these challenging times that\u2019s exactly what we want to do with our Be My Player 2 campaign at HyperX, help build those connections between people with gaming\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re an expert builder on Minecraft ready to create a whole world together, looking to just hang-out on each other\u2019s island on Animal Crossing or create a lobby with you and some friends in Fall Guys, here are six games that can help you stay connected this Valentine\u2019s Day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Perhaps the most famous pastime to come out of the initial lockdown was the chilled-out island building of Animal Crossing. It gave all of us a place to escape and chill from all the madness happening around us and instead allowed us to focus on fishing, bug collecting and paying back our numerous debts to Tom Nook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since its release it has had numerous events built around almost every major holiday and Valentine\u2019s Day is no exception. You can currently buy heart shaped flowers and chocolate boxes to adorn your island with for when your loved one next comes to visit your island or perhaps you might send one of these gifts directly to them. But even if you don\u2019t want to decorate the island in hues of pink and red, hanging out with a friend or partner at your islands is a great way to connect and hopefully forget about the madness around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
