The best couch co-op games for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox

Here are 27 of the best couch co-op games we’ve played across the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

Just be aware that we’ve limited our selection to genuine co-op experiences, not games like Mario Kart or a Jackbox Party Pack that may be playable on one machine but are largely competitive by nature.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 has some frustrating elements more generally — controlling that ghost-gobbling vacuum can be annoyingly imprecise, and backtracking through previously-conquered areas can get tedious — but the creative level designs and Pixar-esque animation give it a distinct personality compared to other Nintendo games.
