It Takes Two
A strictly two-player co-op adventure, online or split-screen; with the Friend's Pass only one of you needs to buy it.
Overcooked! 2
Up to four players race to fill orders in one chaotic kitchen, locally or online; the shouting is half the fun.
Lethal Company
Four players scavenge scrap on abandoned moons to meet a quota; proximity voice chat turns the scares into laughs.
R.E.P.O.
Up to six players haul fragile valuables with physics-based tools while monsters lurk; every dropped vase becomes a joke.
PEAK
Up to four friends climb a mysterious island together, hauling each other up; cheap and quick to pick up for a night.
Deep Rock Galactic
One to four dwarf miners across four classes dig through caves and hold off bug swarms; clear roles make teamwork click.
Left 4 Dead 2
Four survivors fight through zombie hordes in co-op campaigns, plus 4v4 Versus; still cheap and still recommended.
Portal 2
A dedicated two-player co-op campaign where each of you wields a portal gun; solve test chambers online or split-screen.
Split Fiction
A two-player-only co-op adventure from the It Takes Two team, online or split-screen, with a Friend's Pass for the other player.
Stardew Valley
Share one farm with friends, splitting farming, fishing, and mining; on PC up to eight players can join one save.
Terraria
Dig, build, and take down bosses together in one shared 2D world; splitting up class roles makes the bosses far easier.
Valheim
Up to ten Vikings build bases, sail longships, and hunt bosses together; great on a shared server for the long haul.
Don't Starve Together
Up to six players (by default) survive hunger, darkness, and seasons together, with each character's perks shaping the team.
HELLDIVERS™ 2
A four-player squad shooter on hostile planets, with friendly fire always on, so even botched missions end in laughs.
Baldur's Gate 3
Up to four players form an online party for a full-length RPG campaign; two can also play split-screen on one PC.
Phasmophobia
Up to four ghost hunters gather evidence with gear to identify the spirit; scary enough that you'll want friends there.
Among Us
Four to fifteen crewmates do tasks and vote out the hidden impostors; cheap enough that a big group can all buy in.
Human Fall Flat
Wobbly physics puzzles for up to eight players online or two on local split-screen; the clumsy controls are the joke.
Raft
Expand a raft together on the open ocean, fend off the shark, and explore islands; a relaxed survival game for a group.
Sea of Thieves: 2026 Edition
Up to four crewmates split sails, helm, and cannons on one pirate ship; treasure hunts and sea battles run on teamwork.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
One player sees the bomb, the others only have the manual, and talking is the only way to defuse it; one copy, two or more players.
Content Warning
Up to four players film monsters for views on SpookTube; watching the footage back together is the real payoff.
