Watch the video with the 100 best games, that can be played by two or more players in the same time on single PC or console. You can check what the offline multiplayer option looks like before you buy the game.

Games that enable local multiplayer mode allow several players to play at the same time without an internet connection. The type of local co-op depends on the game – some provide a split-screen option (each player has their own part of the screen), others place all players on a one screen (shared screen).

In this top, there is no strict division into split-screen, shared screen, local co-op (cooperative gameplay) or offline PvP (Player vs Player) games. Here you will find fighting games, platformers, arcade and RPG games.

Please note, that many of these games may require two gamepads, even on the PC version. Some may enable co-op play with a keyboard and gamepad, but not all. It also happens that a game that has a local co-op option in the console version does not have this option in the PC version, but all games on this list have a local multiplayer option on the PC.

Why is local multiplayer the best?

Local multiplayer gaming offers a dynamic and social experience that brings friends and family together around a single device. By playing offline multiplayer, you bypass the need for a constant internet connection while still enjoying intense, on-the-spot action. Whether you’re enjoying a classic couch coop session on a shared screen or battling it out in a split-screen setup, these games create memorable moments that online play often struggles to match. The immediacy of local multiplayer is perfect for spontaneous gaming sessions and nostalgic get-togethers.
