  • A lot of time has passed since the release of the original article I did in June 2022 to present some game options with local co-op, good old couch co-op. With so many games coming out since then, it's a good time to upgrade with even more options for shared play from the comfort of your couch.

    Playing with friends cooperatively to achieve a goal is extremely fun and rewarding. Currently, the vast majority of games invest in multiplayer modes, but almost all are online. Another possibility to play together, and which was extremely popular in the gaming world in the past, was the local cooperative mode, also called couch co-op, where we can gather friends in the same environment to enjoy a game together.



    In this last generation of consoles this type of game has been largely left aside, as the online mode is dominating everything, however there are still good local co-op options for you to play on your Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

    Check out some games with this fun and nostalgic gameplay feature below:
