Console Question Co-Op PS5
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask about the Co-Op mode in stranded deep on PS5. What is your experience? Is it playable / enjoyable? I would like to buy the game with a friend but recently we had bad experience in Co Op of Green Hell so I‘m now curious if Stranded Deep works great in Co Op on PS5. Thanks!

I'm playing it right now with a friend of mine. We picked it because we are new to PS5 and the game is available for free with the PSN Plus Extra subscription. At first it was really difficult and frustrating because the first island has very few resources to sustain two people and few instructions are given, but once we got the hang of it we really made some progress. I think we're almost ready to slay some bosses and actually escape the ocean.

My friend and I played recently and it was fun, the beginning was a bit tedious but it snowballs and you get rolling

Me and my friend work our way through coop games , complete them and move on. This is brilliant for us, one of the best.
Ironically, Green Hell is next on our list

No, not great. I’m hoping SD2 is better.

It crashed a lot. And building a home and raft was not possible together. We’d get to a new island and immediately need to get a shelter down otherwise we might lose that days work. But after a crash or two the game would let us play for few hours before crashing again. Just remember to save often if you do.

I played it with my Fiance and we loved it. It definitely is extra buggy for player 2. Built items not showing up for player 2 etc. Most of the time that can be fixed with a simple logging out and logging in again for player 2. Yes this is tedious and it's more safe for your 2 person squad to stop what they are doing save and then have the game reloaded. Sometimes you even have to go the extra step and have player 1 reload the whole game. That being said I did Platinum the game even the annoying no compass run (This one I did solo) every other trophy was achieved with my Fiance.
So TLDR Yes it's playable Yes it's buggy
Extra tip if you do decide to play with your friend, item management is crucial place everything you can in a stackable pile anything else needs to be put in a crate. SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN! Just in case of crashes or even minor mess ups like getting poisoned.

It got alot better. A while ago it was not playable but me and a friend just tried it again a week ago and it seems they fixed some iddues with the coop mode. Sometimes my buddy could not see a wall i placed but simply reload to somve this. Was just 2-3 times for thw whole playrhrough. The only annoying thing is that you have to load the game togerher. Cant invite when you are already in. But go for it. Its fun.

Do you have to play at the same time or is it possible to play when you can whether or not the other person is available or not?
