Co-op games made for two
Lots of co-op games work with two players, but few are truly built for two. This page shows games whose co-op is designed for exactly two players according to Steam and IGDB – online or local. The design counts on both of you: puzzles that need two people, stories with two leads and moments where you have to trust each other blindly.
Perfect for couples, siblings or your regular gaming duo. For some titles a Friend’s Pass means only one copy is needed.
Our picks
It Takes Two
A married couple is turned into dolls and has to work together. Every level brings new ideas – only one of you needs to buy it.
A Way Out
Two prisoners plan their escape, and the screen is always split. A story that only works with two.
We Were Here Forever
Separated in an icy castle, connected only by walkie-talkie. You have to describe what you see to each other.
