What are the best co-op games on PS Plus? While there are countless excellent games to play solo on PS Plus, you can find many fantastic titles that feature co-op play in the service’s catalogue.
Playing a game alongside a friend or two is a completely different vibe to playing alone. It encourages teamwork and communication, and whether you succeed or fail, it brings you together in a shared experience.
Games like It Takes Two are entirely built around co-op, whereas others like Returnal or Sniper Elite 5 feature optional modes for you and your pals to play together.

15. Human: Fall Flat (PS5)
Human: Fall Flat is a zany puzzle platformer that sacrifices precision in favour of slapstick, Gang Beasts-esque silliness. Awkwardly controlling a gangling mannequin through physics-driven environments, you must float and fumble your way through fresh environments, bumbling your way from one location to the next. Its light-hearted and laugh-out-loud gameplay has given this title longevity even developer No Brakes must be surprise by.
14. LEGO Horizon Adventures (PS5)
While the combination might seem unusual, LEGO Horizon Adventures is pretty successful in bringing together the family-friendly building blocks and Guerrilla Games’ sci-fi action RPG. The aesthetic is particularly impressive, but it also translates the combat very nicely, and the all-ages retelling of the story has a real LEGO Movie quality to it. Best for co-op play with friends and family, this isn’t a particularly deep experience, but the fun combat, customisation, and amazing art direction will keep you entertained.
13. The Ascent (PS5)
The Ascent is a compelling mix — take punchy twin stick shooter combat, throw in some loot and RPG elements, and place it in a shockingly detailed cyberpunk setting, and you’ve got a pretty great recipe. The good news is that it’s just as tasty as it sounds, especially when played in local or online co-op with some pals. The action and mission design can be a little repetitive at times, but the core loop can keep you engaged for hours.
12. Far Cry 6 (PS5)
After a few forgettable entries, Far Cry 6 found the fun again. Of course, there’s an undeniable familiarity here: you play as Dani – either male or female – and must work alongside a ragtag group of guerrillas to liberate the beautiful landscape of Yara from the rule of a menacing dictator named Antón Castillo. But while the core formula remains intact, there’s fun to be found in the emergent combat gauntlets and DIY armaments, with a backpack rocket launcher and Walkman assault rifle among some of the highlights. If you’re ever in need of open world comfort food, then you can’t really go wrong here.
11. Sniper Elite 5 (PS5)
Not every game needs to be revelatory, and Sniper Elite 5 proves that knowing your audience is sometimes all it takes. Gruff protagonist Karl Fairburne’s fifth outing takes him to occupied France, where he must put a stop to a MacGuffin plot named Operation Kraken. A mix of stealth and long-range skirmishes makes for a supremely satisfying blend, with Rebellion’s dense, vertical level design truly on target here. New wrinkles include an Axis Invasion mechanic, which allows competing players to infiltrate your single player campaign, upping the tension immensely. This a familiar outing overall, but a well-executed one – Sniper Elite just doesn’t miss.
