Departures · team games · checked 23 October 2026
Five team games.
Pick one before the lobby opens.
PlayQuay sets five free-to-start team games side by side, like departures on a board: how many players a side, how long a match runs and where each one runs. Choose by your crew and your evening, then read the profile.
Match = the usual length of the main mode. Est. lengths are explained in the method.All five are free to start
No betting, skin-trading or case-opening links. Every link goes to an official game site, with no referral code.
How the profiles are built →Crew size
Count heads before genres
A team of five, a group of six and a trio need different games. Start with how many of you there are tonight.
5 a side
Five fills a side. Smaller groups queue with strangers to make up the numbers.
Match length
How long a match takes
Bars show the usual length of the main mode. The ring and thin line show a shorter mode where one exists.
Boarding passes
Five profiles, four ratings each
The squares describe what a game asks of a group. A full row on rules means more to learn, which a patient crew may enjoy.

Head to head
Three pairs worth comparing
Both are hero shooters with roles and short matches. Overwatch plays five a side with a fixed split of roles; Marvel Rivals plays six and rewards pairing heroes through Team-Ups.
The two games here where aim decides most fights, in opposite shapes: one life per round inside a building, or sixty players and a closing ring.
Both seat five. SMITE 2 fills a long, planned evening; Overwatch fits between other plans.
Planner
Tonight, with your crew
Choose players, time and leaning. The list reorders and each line says which mode fits and why.
Practice cards
One hour, one focus
Each game has a 60-minute card split into timed blocks: a warm-up in the game's own training mode, one learning drill, a match or two and a short review.
Apex Legends
