The Best Co-Op Games of 2024 to Sing With Your Kids

Playing sports on your own might, after long enough, find a little depressed. Playing dynamic games can help you pump your blood, but it can also cause blood to cook. &nbsp,

That’s where joint activities come in.

Wonderful co-op games can be difficult to find, but a good one can establish itself as a regular fixture in your group or even serve as a catalyst for making new friends once you begin to explore the area. &nbsp,

They demand dialogue and concentration, but they also avoid the humiliation of 45 minutes of being stomped by the same group.

We have a selection of criminal co-op activities on sell for you that were released in 2024. They range from bandwidth hack’n’slash to tree-punchers to send control, and they’re all a storm.

Void Crew

System: PC

Void Crew spots you and up to three other people on a room ship, tasked with going on a journey, taking operations, and finally fighting a manager.

Aboard your send, you’ll have to decide on weapons and power placement, control your engines and power consumption, defend the ship, and put on a jetpack to go out into the inky blackness of space to rebuild your boat and complete missions. &nbsp,

When you have a staff of four, this activity turns into something special. The FTL-style vision networks allow you to keep things moving while allowing for a little rest between missions. Of course, there’s always the danger of getting knocked out of your space pipe and ambushed by Artificial rivals.

Things may begin very easy, but by the end, your entire team may be working overtime to keep the mission going. There’s little enjoyment to be had here, especially if you have that staff.

Enshrouded

System: PC (PS5 + Xbox coming soon)

Survival-crafting game may be a dime a dozen, but they’re usually a great resource of co-op play. Enshrouded is in early stages, but it already has a ton to accomplish. &nbsp,

The main mechanics are quite common: collect resources, build, upgrade, and fight enemies. However, the gameplay emphasizes entertaining conflict and offers challenging-but-rewarding director conflicts. Traversal is joy, also, as you’ll eventually get wings and a fighting connect.

Enshrouded’s construction process is another outstanding function. The game uses clever blending of patterns, which means that you can place anything you want in the game as well as help you make it look great.

Journey of Exile 2

Platforms: Computers, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

So you’re tired of Diablo. That’s where Path of Exile comes in. The first PoE is still alive and well with a thriving community, but the new Journey of Exile 2 is here in early access with souped-up visuals, a new campaign, and crossplay and cross-progression. 

If you know Diablo, then it’ll look very familiar at first blush. With 1, 500 nodes to put skill points into, there are new classes, and the class progression system is as intimidatingly large as it always is. You can either wing it or use a build manual to find the ideal character.

While a single-player mode exists, of course, playing co-op with a friend or group of friends is where the game shines.

Helldivers 2

Platforms: PS5, PC

Without bringing up Helldivers, it would be absurd to discuss 2024 cooperative video games. &nbsp,

Helldivers 2 won two Game Awards recently, including Best Multiplayer, and was a huge hit in the first half of 2024 thanks to a crucial combination of truly incredible explosions, a level of hilarious satire that encouraged everyone to get into the bit together, and of course killer cooperative play. &nbsp,

What are you doing here if you haven’t played this one but do have a PC or PlayStation 5? It’s time to stand up for Managed Democracy and keep Super Earth running.

The Finals

Platforms: PC, PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X/S

While most of this list avoids PVP play, we wanted to get at least one here —and The Finals, a free-to-play competitive shooter, is a great place to start. &nbsp,

In teams of three or five players, depending on the mode, you’ll do things like point control and competing for points. Instead of pretending to be the real world, though, The Finals puts you into a canonically virtual environment, when you die, you turn into a bunch of cubes that fall to the ground. &nbsp,

The biggest feature here, though, is massive destructibility. By the time a match is over, you can tear apart levels with grenades, mines, and exploding tanks, taking down entire buildings and completely alter the landscape of some levels. As a PVP game, things can get pretty sweaty—but with two friends, it can offer a ton of fun.

Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria

Platforms: Computers, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

The biggest draw for Return to Moria is, of course, the fact that it’s set in Middle-earth. &nbsp,

In this survival-crafting game, you and up to seven other players will play the dwarves who are being summoned to Moria to reclaim the ancestral home. &nbsp,

You’ll explore, gather, and build while also facing the dangers of a giant cave system that’s been abandoned for years. It’s a great addition to any co-op player list.
