The Best Co-op Games to Play With Your Friends

From couch co-op to logging in online, these are some of the best co-op games available right now.

Playing with friends is an essential aspect of gaming, so it’s no wonder games like Split Fiction and It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios were recent hits. Some of my best memories are of marathon gaming sessions with friends, either shoulder to shoulder on a couch or logging in online from across the country. Despite how gaming has changed over the years, one thing remains the same — people love playing games together.

So, whether you’re looking for a split-screen experience or just want something to hop into for a few hours with your friends, these are some of the best co-op games available right now.

Best co-op games right now

Best co-op games for two players

These games are best experienced with one other person, so grab a friend and get to work. A few in this section, like Split Fiction, It Takes Two and Cuphead, only require one copy of the game, which makes it even easier to play.

Best co-op games for four players

These games are better experienced with a crew at your back. Squad up with three friends and get ready to squash alien bugs, hunt monsters or battle waves of demons.

Best single-player games with co-op

These games are primarily single-player adventures, but they do support bringing along a friend or three. Whether you’re passing the controller back and forth or dropping in and out, try these games solo or with friends.
