Following the huge success of the PlayStation 4, Sony has released the next generation of its game console in 2020: the PlayStation 5 or PS5. It includes an 8-core processor, 16GB RAM and a graphics card with up to 10 TFLOPS of processing power. This should enable the PlayStation 5 to display current games in high qualityâeven in 4K. In addition, a large SSD ensures faster loading times. The PlayStation 5 has a futuristic design and is actually quite big, at least compared to other consoles. It comes with a stand and can be set up both horizontally and vertically. This means that it can still be placed next to or under the TV, which is ideal for couch coop games with your family.
The PlayStation 5 comes with a new controller called the DualSense controller. It has a revised design and new possibilities for haptic feedback. The older DualShock 4 controllers can still be used on the PlayStation 5, but only for PS4 games. Although many games on the PlayStation 5 allow you to share a single controller with a friend, we recommend that you check how many controllers you actually need, before you download a new game. You can easily find this information in each of our reviews.
It looks like the PlayStation 5 will once again be a very successful gaming console. This is a big advantage, because it means that many (couch coop) games will be released for the PS5. But what about the classics? According to Sony, most PS4 games should also be playable on the PlayStation 5. This allows you to benefit from the wide range of local multiplayer games available for the PS4. Below is a list of our favourite couch coop games for the PS5. Have fun!

We love couch coop games. Nothing beats the joy of sitting in the same room, playing some fun games and experiencing the reactions of your friendsâespecially at the moment, when youâre more often at home with your partner, family members or roommates. Sure, online multiplayer modes can be fun, too, but couch coop has always been the best type of multiplayer games.
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 coop classics, like âMario Kart 8 Deluxeâ or âSuper Mario Partyâ on Nintendo Switch. While these couch coop 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 coop games do exist, but they try to list them all, even the not-so-good ones. Gaming related blogs and magazines write about couch coop 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 Coop Favorites.
We create lists with handpicked couch coop gamesâfilterable by platform, player number and relevant features. On this website you can quickly find new games that has been tested by people like you. Save time on researching, spend more time with your friends and family.
We are Tabea und Patrick, both in our mid-20s and from Northern Germany. We have a deep passion for couch coop 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.
Our mission is simple: We want to bring joy to people looking for good couch coop 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 coop 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 at the moment.
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 coop games, weâd be happy to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email or start a conversation on Twitter! đ đź
