r/playstation on Reddit: Best two-player games for ps5?
August 11, 2025 -

It’s my husband’s birthday tomorrow! Bought him a ps5 awhile back. Going to buy an extra controller, so we can spend quality time together. I’ve been so busy lately, that he hasn’t gotten much attention (haha I bet he begs to differ, I don’t leave him alone if he’s around). But I don’t game. I am a tv girl. The game has to have a plot.

He’s recently been playing this medieval game where he makes potions, gathers flowers, etc. I like that one a lot!

I liked watching him play cyberpunk. Love the themes! Very fascinating.

He played the battlefield trial game yesterday? Idek. I wasn’t a fan. Too chaotic.

Any ideas? Also - he has to be able to play it himself when I inevitably quit.

If you want two player games (without ability to play solo), then look at: A way out It takes two Split fiction Unravel 2 (beware, Unravel 1 is single player game) If you want games that can be played by one or two persons, then look at: Crash Team Racing Overcooked Tekken Mortal combat Darksiders Genesis But play competitive games at your own risk, they can end up with arguing, yelling and physical violence. Especially Overcooked can be very toxic game.

Not everyone knows this, but Horizon Forbidden West has a feature called copilot where you can both control the main character together, using two controllers that have equal control. I played it with my oldest son when he was six and very interested in the games I was playing but lacked the skill to play them. It enabled him to have as much control as he could handle, but then I could easily take over when we had to fight a big enemy or something like that. The game is a 10 out of 10, definitely one of the best on PS5, so if he hasn't played it, he really should. Another great co-op game is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge, a simple arcade style beat em up that is just good mindless fun but it's executed really well. We also like TMNT Splintered Fate, which is a co-op roguelite game so it's more challenging, more interesting gameplay, and more replayability potential. If you know Hades, this one is "Hades with ninja turtles". Honorable mention to Trine 4 and Knack 2, both of which are great collaborative adventure games where my younger son and I find ourselves talking, problem solving, and laughing a lot together as we play.

My wife isn't the kind that is into videogames at all, she spends most of her free time on tiktok or binge-watching netflix. But since we recently bought a PS5, well, I've been having a blast with it (FF remake, FFXVI, Stellar Blade, Returnal and yesterday I just started playing The First Descendant), however the only thing my wife has played so far is Ratchet and Clank and well... the whole platformer thing is pretty complicated to her, she's barely ever used a controller in her life so she's pretty clunky and has a really REALLY hard time grasping simple things like jumps, aiming to shoot, dodging damage and just moving the camera around. I had to set up R&C at the lowest difficulty for her so she's immune to enemy damage, and she still manages to die becuase of platforming and/or gets lost without knowing what to do. Thing is, I can tell she's making an effort to play games with me, and I absolutely love that she's trying, heck she even wants to buy a pink controller for her to use, however I just fail to see what game we could play multiplayer that we could both enjoy and that she won't feel bad because she's not good at it. So, what games would you recommend that we give it a shot? I want her to enjoy gaming, even if at "low" complexity at first. The point is for us to have fun together, solve stuff together, work together and who knows, maybe with time she'll get to enjoy gaming more and actually be my duo.

Edit: Thanks a BUNCH for all the input given! I talked with my wifey about this post and she was flabergasted with how many options were put up. Here's what we're gonna try:

  1. It takes two

  2. Diablo 4

  3. Sackboy

  4. Try and look for a LEGO game we both might be interested in, im leaning towards Harry Potter

Regardless of these 4 ideas, with so much input I've already got a LOT to try, even if it isn't what I already listed above. Once again thank you all!!

What do you guys think is the best co op game on ps5/ps4? For me it would be helldivers 2, also because of the added crossplay option. But the gameplay is just so good in my opinion

March 11, 2024 - I’ve met lots of couples who play, and I’ve noticed it has a lot of female players. ... STREETS OF RAGE 4! ... It Takes Two. Good story and a fun co-op game. Same reason why I bought a PS5 so my wife can play with me.

My husband and I both play video games and want to find an engrossing game to play together. We each have a PS5 and wouldn’t mind having to play online with 2 consoles/screens. Please help!!

We’ve already played It Takes Two, Split Fiction, Unravel 2, etc. We can’t find anymore engrossing split-screen games so online multiplayer it is.

We tried playing Baulder’s Gate 3 and didn’t like it (not DND players, tough to understand).

I looked into Ghost of Tsushima but the main story isn’t multiplayer :( but that’s the type of game we’re looking for!!

My favorite game is Witcher 3. His is RDR2.

Please recommend some good online games with a good storyline and open-world combat for us!!

Thank you :)

March 23, 2025 -

We just finished It Takes Two together and I'm interested in looking into a few more, but I understand the market is not particularly large for best experienced split screens. I know she prefers cozier games and doesn't like the likes of roguelikes (much to my dismay,, RIP to the Binding Of Isaac/Cult of the Lamb dream). I have a list of options right now but any other options i'm not considering would be nice!

Top contenders:
-Split Fiction

-A way out

-Stardew Valley

-Don't starve together

-Unraveled 2

-Overcooked 2

-Moving Out

I have a few maybes like xbox exclusives such as halo and gears of war, but they're hard maybes. Some good options like Portal 2 we've already experienced. Thanks for any help!

r/PS5 on Reddit: Favorite story game to play alongside your partner? (or friend!)
1 week ago -

My gf and I just finished Split Fiction (and I’m heartbroken about it). I wanted to start doing some research on games we might enjoy in the future that have strong stories or really fun gameplay.

They don’t have to be co-op. If it’s a fun enough game to just pass the controller back and forth, that’s not a problem at all.

I just wanted to hear what everyone’s absolute favorite game is for a situation like this! She’s a fan of mystery and adventure. I’m a fan of pretty much everything.

Side note: I’ve had It Takes Two and A Way Out downloaded, so those will be played eventually.

Edit: Some other games we enjoy playing together are Mario Kart, Overcooked, Smash Ultimate, Moving Out, Fall Guys, Super Mario Bros, occasionally Fortnite and Hogwarts Legacy, and Unraveled 2.

My fiancé has been a causal PlayStation fan for a few years now. She had a PS4 and was glued to Until Dawn. Since we split the cost of a PS5, both our interests have skyrocketed. We are currently looking for some games we can play together.

Games that we have played:
-Grand Theft Auto V campaign.
-Detroit: Become Human story.
-Beyond: Two Souls.
- Until Dawn story.

Games on our wishlist:
-Stardew Valley.
-Untitled Goose Game.

Games we've heard of:
-Unravel 2.
-It Takes Two.
-Portal 2.

Any other games that would fit well in this list?

r/playstation on Reddit: Suggestions for Split screen games for two
June 29, 2024 -

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend and I want to start playing a new game together. But we have no inspiration and do not know where to start. Do you guys have any suggestions for us?

We like games like, Baldurs Gate 3, Call of Duty, Witcher 3 or Halo.

We have 1 console so it must be a game where splitscreen is an option and not only online like Avatar the Frontiers of Pandora. (We wanted to play this one but realized you can only play together online😭)

I’m really curious if you guys have any suggestions and also thank you in advance! 🤩

November 27, 2024 -

What are some fun games I can play with the GF?

We’re transitioning from Switch since we have the itch for more open-world adventure games. Zelda TOTK really started that itch for us. A different genre, but we’ve also loved It Takes Two.

We think PS5 seems to have better games and more visually stunning. Single player is fine too but 2player couch coop (or cross play with PC) would be ideal!

Any farming-type game might also be good. She’s loved Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and Everafter Falls.

Some of my own ideas that may be fun (input would be great)!

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 or Divinity Sin 2: I think she’d love the worlds/stories as well as the decision-making and flexibility of everything (instead of it being linear).

  • Red Dead Redemption: She’ll probably have a lot of fun but not sure how long it might last.

  • Witcher 3: She’s binging the show now so she’d definitely be interested. I’m a little worried it might be a bit too complex (e.g. crafting). Not saying she isn’t capable, but she might get bored if there are way too many things to keep track of. Though who knows, she might actually grow into loving it!

Thanks!

Heyo!! i’m looking for fun games that are coop and preferably either cheap or free, but if it’s rly good i don’t mind waiting. My gf likes stardew valley and that sort of thing. I really like fantasy/sci fi, strategy games and RPGs like skyrim, stellaris, baldurs gate 3, etc. we both enjoy minecraft and lately been playing return to moria since it’s free. her pc isn’t super great and can barely run return to moria on its lowest setting so it would have to be games around that mark (i wanted to play BG3 with her lol but no way she’ll run it!) so any good ideas? i don’t play many coop games so not rly my area of expertise
