Best Co-op Games (In no particular order)

Split Fiction

Arguably one of the best co-op games of ALL TIME, we’re starting off our list for 2025 strong with one of the highest rated games of the year. From the same developers of It Takes Two (seen below) it’s an evolution of that shared screen formula, but is better in almost every way.

If you haven’t played it yet, go buy it. You can also still invite your mate if you’re not sharing the couch for free using their built in “friend’s pass’ version. You won’t regret it!

Dead Island 2 (Available on Game Pass)

Dead Island 2 is fantastic. It knows what it is, and that’s a ton of sneakily smart dumb fun. The FLESH system is horrific and awful and the best. Smashing, chopping, burning, and exploding humans has never been so fun, especially with a friend.

Per the developers, “As a proper RPG experience, Dead Island 2 offers plenty of exciting quests, a crazy cast of characters, and a thrilling pulp story, to truly immerse you in its twisted universe. Re-playability is guaranteed. Add an over-the-top co-op mode for up to three players, and you’ll stay in LA for a very long (and gory) trip.”

It Takes Two (Available on Game Pass via EA Play)

It Takes Two is a game that deserves to be played. Presented in split-screen at all times (supporting both online and couch co-op). In our review, we said: It Takes Two is like the David Bowie of the Action-Adventure gaming world – flitting from style to style while hitting all of the marks and remaking them all in its own way.

An absolute must-play for any co-op gaming addicts.
