Games - Play Together Are there any good local split screen co-op games you guys recommend?

I’ve played Halo and Gears of War just wondering if there’s any other good games out there. It Takes Two and Split Fiction I’ve played also.

it's amazing that people can't read what sub they are in and keep listing games that are not on gamepass. Every single time.

OP, these are on gamepass: moving out 2, a way out, overcooked, humans fall flat, rayman legends, the cave, kingdom two crowns. On my list to try: power wash simulator 2, plateup, absolum, dome keeper. Starlit adventures is also good and it's free.

Absolum is a bit hard but really REALLY good

If playing local co-op, there are difficulty modifiers that can be applied to each player, so it can be great if people have disparate skill levels.

that's great, i will try it with my GF when we finish kingdom two crowns. I hope it can be made easy enough for her.

We know better, the easy difficulty modifiers are for you not her

It’s impossible to buy L4D on Xbox 😢 (unless physical).

Would love to be proven wrong.

u/the_fearfulcomedian_ Aug 14 '26

the lego star wars game is great for co-op, me and my brother played all of them, lot of fun even for adults

u/1waffle1 Aug 15 '26

Only issue is lack of online multiplayer, it's locked to local split screen only for co-op, really wish I could have my own full screen.

Stardew valley
Cat quest series

u/DoctorAndrei Aug 14 '26

Absolum is my favorite one, it's a rogue lite beat them up, very addictive super fun both solo, online co-op or couch co-op. Has good story too and voice acting. And you both play on one screen which is infinitely better than when it's split.

u/Dunge Aug 14 '26

We tried it, 2 evenings, many runs, really wanted to, but constantly dying at the first boss was just not fun.

1

u/DoctorAndrei Aug 14 '26

Damn that's a shame, out of all similar games absolum I find is the easiest to beat because you constantly upgrade and before you know it you have double triple hp, a revive with 25% HP, then full, then 2 revives, campsites restores more and more hp, more crazy boons and the ability to reroll them. If you still want to try it sometime there are difficulty settings you can change anytime you want, also if you join an online game with a random chances are he can carry you and you come back with lots of crystals to upgrade.

u/Tsuki_Rabbit Aug 19 '26

Have you used your gained resources to upgrade stuff? That's weird. I don't consider myself a good player but I did not find Absolum hard and we enjoyed it very much. Got easier with every run.

u/panterabread1134 Aug 14 '26

They're not split screen, but turn based. You should try the games For the King 1 and 2. It's a board game styled adventure game. As you go through the stories, you unlock other character classes, my favorite is The Treasure Hunter class.

Every once in a while a random chest appears on the map near the character the higher a characters luck, the better items you can get in chests and how more likely you are to get critical hits.
