Donât Starve Together
Enter an unexplored world full of strange creatures, gather resources and craft items for survival.
Available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, XBOX Series X/S, XBOX One
Team up with a partner and jump through colorful levels while occasionally changing gravity.
At first glance âibb & obbâ looks like a regular platformer, but thereâs a twist. Each level is (horizontally) divided into two areas, each with their own gravitational pull. You can alternate between both areas by using portals that are scattered through the world. Itâs a simple and elegant concept, because it immediately creates tricky challenges.
âibb & obbâ is made for exactly two people: One player takes control of ibb, the other one slips into the role of obb. The game really encourages you to work together. If you jump on top of an enemy, it drops some collectable coin-like objects. These can only be obtained by your partner, who must be on the other side of the platform at the same time. Furthermore, you can stand on top of each other and combine your jumps to reach higher platforms. The game is full of small details like that. All of them encourage (or even require) good teamwork.
âibb & obbâ is a colorful puzzle game with an interesting concept and well designed levels. Itâs a calm, but challenging experience for two good friends.

This game may be available on other platforms. Please check out the official website for âibb & obbâ, 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 âibb & obbâ.
Remote Play Together (Steam) allows you to share local multiplayer games with friends over the internet. Only the host needs to own the game. The service is free.
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
