Multiplayer Modes:
Red Light, Green Light: Set in the Red Card map’s stadium, players navigate through rounds where movement is dictated by “Green Light” and “Red Light” commands from Young-hee, the iconic doll from the series. Moving during “Red Light” results in elimination.

Squid Game Moshpit: A playlist featuring traditional modes infused with Squid Game mechanics, including the Red Light, Green Light scorestreak, Piggy Bank bonuses, and the Roulette Handgun.
Zombies Mode:
Dead Light, Green Light: Available on Liberty Falls and Citadelle des Morts maps, this mode introduces phases where players earn increased Essence during “Green Light,” face penalties for moving during “Red Light,” and confront intensified zombie waves during “Dead Light.”
Warzone Mode:
Squid Game on Urzikstan: Teams compete in rotating challenges on the Urzikstan map, with underperforming squads eliminated after each round. The Red Light, Green Light challenge can trigger unexpectedly, adding unpredictability to matches.
