Best Co-op Games

Based on critic scores and popularity, the top co-op games you can buy right now are Elden Ring, Red Dead Redemption 2, and ARC Raiders. The list updates every day, so it always shows what is worth playing together - and where it is cheapest.

Online co-op lets you team up with friends wherever they are - perfect for long sessions in games like Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2 or Valheim, where every run plays out a little differently. Prefer playing side by side on the same sofa? Many co-op games also support local play on one PC - the game modes on each game page show which ones do.

Some of the best story games ever made can be played together. Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin let your whole party make choices (and argue about them), Split Fiction was built from the ground up for two players, and Portal 2 has a co-op campaign that is worth playing even if you finished the solo story years ago. For something calmer, farming and building games like Stardew Valley let you run a cozy little world together at your own pace.

For online co-op, usually yes - every player needs the game on their own PC. There are exceptions: Hazelight's two-player adventures come with a free Friend's Pass, so only one of you has to buy the game, and Steam Remote Play Together lets friends join many local co-op games over the internet while only the host owns it. When the whole group does need a copy, the price difference between stores adds up fast - our Historical Low Game Deals list shows games at the lowest price they have ever been. Many co-op games are also part of Xbox Game Pass, a nice way to try a game together before everyone buys it.

Use the filters at the top of the list to narrow it down by genre, price, release date or rating - for example, co-op shooters under $10 or the newest co-op RPGs. Every game links to its own page with all current deals, editions and system requirements, so you can check everything before you buy.
