Get into your race car and drive at high speed through tracks all over the world.
Do you remember the arcade racing games of the 90s? âHorizon Chase Turboâ brings back the classic driving experienceâin splitscreen mode and for up to 4 people. You select a new track via a world map and unlock new regions by ranking in the top five places. The individual rounds are refreshingly short, so the classic âjust one more lapâ feeling quickly sets in.
The graphics are kept simple in reference to earlier times, but they donât look boring at all. On some tracks, the prevailing weather conditions even have an influence on the controls. The music comes from Barry Leitch, who was a sound designer for various racing games back in the 90s. All in all, the game manages to create an authentic atmosphere by skillfully combining retro elements with modern conveniences.
âHorizon Chase Turboâ is a charming arcade racing game with a surprising amount of content (cars, tracks and unlockable upgrades). If you want to challenge your friends to fast-paced splitscreen races, you should definitely give it a try.

This game may be available on other platforms. Please check out the official website for âHorizon Chase Turboâ, if your preferred platform isnât listed.
Most couch co-op games require one gamepad per player (DualShock 4, DualSense, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller etc.), but sometimes you can share gamepads (PS5, XBOX Series X/S), use a single Joy Con (Switch) or let at least one person utilize a keyboard (PC). Please note: We canât guarantee that your specific setup works with âHorizon Chase Turboâ.
Remote Play Together (Steam) and SharePlay (PSN) allow you to share local multiplayer games with friends over the internet. Only the host needs to own the game. Remote Play Together is free. SharePlay requires a paid PSN subscription and is limited to 60 minutes per session and a maximum of 2 players.
We donât use affiliate links, we donât do paid listings, we just love good couch co-op games. Please support your favorite indie developers andâmost importantlyâhave fun!

We love couch co-op games. Nothing beats the joy of sitting in the same room, playing some fun games and experiencing the reactions of your friends first handâespecially during a pandemic, when youâre more often at home with your partner, family members or roommates. Sure, online multiplayer modes can be fun, too, but couch co-op has always been the best type of multiplayer games for us.
If you are like us, you play local multiplayer games on a regular basis, either with your kids or your friends. Every platform has some couch co-op classics, like âMario Kart 8 Deluxeâ and âSuper Mario Partyâ on Nintendo Switch or âSackboy: A Big Adventureâ on PS5. While these couch co-op games can be played over and over again, you may want to try something new from time to time. So, where do you find interesting, new titles? Sometimes you get great recommendations from friends, but most of the time you need to do your own research.
Most game stores like Steam, PlayStation/Microsoft Store or Nintendo eShop offer categories for local multiplayer games. However, they either feature just a handful of new games or list thousands of entries. Websites for couch co-op games do exist, but they try to list them all, even the not-so-good ones. Gaming related blogs and magazines write about couch co-op games from time to time, but itâs not their main subject. You probably donât want to search on the internet for hours and hunt for hidden gems. You want to find great, new games without the hassle. Thatâs why weâve came up with the idea for Couch Co-Op Favorites.
We create lists with handpicked couch co-op gamesâfilterable by platform, player number and relevant features. On this website you can quickly find new games which have been tested by people like you. Save time on researching, spend more time with friends and family.
We are a group of friends from Northern Germany. We have a deep passion for couch co-op games and did a lot of research on the subject in our student days. We donât know all titles, but we certainly know a lot of excellent games for different platforms and audiences. We regularly play games, but we still identify as casual gamers. We believe that not every gaming related site needs to look like it has been made for stereotypical gamers. Thatâs why weâve decided to make this site look friendly and approachable.
Our mission is simple: We want to bring joy to people looking for good couch co-op games and we want to support indie developers, too.
All games listed here are handpicked by us. Weâre not paid by developers to feature their games. Developers may send us their games for free, but this doesnât influence our opinon about these games. If we list a game, we genuinely like it. Itâs that simple. No ads, no affiliate links, just good games.
If youâre working on a couch co-op game, feel free to send us a short email with a link to your press kit and a few codes. To be able to test a game properly, we use multiple platforms (PC and at least one console, if possible). Currently, we prefer to test on Steam (Windows/Ubuntu) and on Nintendo Switch (EU/Germany). Please understand that we cannot publish a review for every game. As our time is limited, we are unable to test any betas or games in âEarly Accessâ. Additionally, we priotize games which are available on multiple platforms (not Steam only).
If youâre not sure wether your game is âgood enoughâ or if you haven't been feeling very confident lately, please consider reaching out anyway. We are regular people, just like you, and we try to answer every email!
Regardless of whether youâre an (indie) game developer or a fan of couch co-op games, weâd be happy to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email or start a conversation on Twitter! đ đź
