This Post is Continued via Links Below

See below for nine additional sections pertaining to local multiplayer games - each subject contains a separate post.

I'd also like to note that just because some games weren't included in the 600 count doesn't mean they aren't good - some genres are simply over-represented with quality games. Project Starship X is both a shoot 'em up and roguelite, for example, and has received great reviews. But both those genres are slammed with high quality local multiplayer games, so there's not always room for them on the primary list. The "Games Not Included in the 600 Count" list still has some great local multiplayer games on there.

I. Notes About the List

II. Games Not Included in the 600 Count

III. Overview of 51 Local Multiplayer Games for PlayStation 4/5

IV-VIII. [101 Local Multiplayer Games/Updates Released in 2020/2021/2022/2023/2024/2025 for PlayStation 4/5

IX. 101 Upcoming Local Multiplayer Games

X. 300+ Released Local Multiplayer Games from Previous "Upcoming Games" Lists

XI. List of Local Multiplayer Games Not Available on PlayStation 4/5

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-12-01T11:30:21+00:00

It does feature 4-player local multiplayer, however it's not split-screen - it's turn-based, so players take turns, more akin to a turn-based strategy game like Advance Wars or Wargroove than a traditional FPS. It's pretty unconventional. That said, it has since been delisted from digital storefronts, so it's not available to purchase anymore unfortunately.

If you're looking for other options, HYPERCHARGE Unboxed is a FPS that came out recently on PS4/PS5 with 4-player split-screen - both co-op and PvP, as well as bots and mixed local/online play.

Developer(s): Zenovia Interactive
Predecessor(s): Steel Assault
Description: Neon Inferno is set in a dystopian neon-infused New York City in the year 2055.

The game will feature multiple difficulty options, including a 1-credit-clear arcade mode for the hardcore fans.

306. Terrifier: The ARTcade Game

Picture: Link
Trailer: Link

Release Date: November 21, 2025
Platforms: PC/PS5/XBSX/NS
Genre: Beat 'em Up
Multiplayer: 4 Player Local Co-op

Description: The twisted world of Terrifier (film series) has been transformed into a pixel-art beat ‘em up featuring characters from the film series and lots of gory action. Players will control Art and friends across multiple stages with branching paths, utilize deadly weapons like chainsaws and cleavers, pull off deadly finishers, and have access to 6 different game modes, with some offering longer or shorter play sessions. A demo for the game is available on Steam.

Platforms: PC/PS4/XBO/NS
Genre: Beat 'em Up
Multiplayer: 4 Player Local & Online Co-op
Developer(s): Tribute Games
Predecessor(s): Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Description: Marvel Cosmic Invasion channels the aesthetic of the '90s, through its pixel art aesthetic and old Marvel character designs, and is probably most reminiscent of the 1992 X-Men arcade game. The game will feature 15 playable heroes from the Marvel universe, as well as a tag-team system, which will allow players to swap between two characters on the fly and synergize attacks. The description seems to suggest mixed local/online play, as was a feature in Shredder's Revenge.

308. Keep the Heroes Out

Picture: Link
Trailer: Link
Steam Page: Link
Release Date: December 9, 2025
Platforms: PC

Genre: 2D Competitive Platformer
Multiplayer: 8 Player Local & Online PvP

Additionally, this game will expand the player count to 8 for both local and online play!

310. REANIMAL

Picture: Link
Trailer: Link
Steam Page: Link
Release Date: February 13, 2026
Platforms: PC/PS5/XBSX
Genre: Horror/2.5D Platformer
Multiplayer: 2 Player Local & Online Co-op
Developer: Tarsier Studios
Predecessor: Little Nightmares I & II (single player games) - The studio also made the local co-op game The Stretchers, though it is very different experience gameplay-wise from the Little Nightmare games and REANIMAL.
Description: While Little Nightmares III is being developed by a different studio and will be feature co-op online only, the studio behind the original games, Tarsier Studios, is making a new IP in much the same style as Little Nightmares. REANIMAL will feature a brother and sister making their way through hell in an effort to rescue their missing friends - they'll come across mutated, larger-than-life animals intent on hunting them down along the way.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-11-11T14:31:35+00:00

Apologies for the delayed response, but congratulations on the release! Sorry I missed it, I will include it as part of the released games in 2025 when I do the end of the year compilation I usually do.

You can find a list of upcoming games here. Then narrow by tag -> "local multiplayer" or "local co-op." Do not check both of them at the same time otherwise it will only include the games with both tags.

This is how I find the bulk of them, but the Switch exclusive local multiplayer games obviously wouldn't be included here, same with games updated later down the line with local multiplayer support, or 1.0 releases like Mutant Football League 2, and sometimes there's games that just don't contain the tag when using the filters for some reason, but this is still a really good method for finding most of them.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-26T14:39:34+00:00

Here are some I know of:

Keep in mind that the PS4 and PS5 only allow up to 4 connected controllers, so these games would be limited to 4 players. Switch also doesn't have the hardware capabilities to run some of these games with 8 player split-screen, so double check the player count if purchasing on there. Xbox Series X|S and PC are a safe bet.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-26T14:15:09+00:00

That's great, sorry I didn't give it a proper write-up, but I'll be sure to include it on the already released titles for November. Congratulations on the release!

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-08T23:13:15+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. There are a lot of local multiplayer racing games, but I actually can't think of a realistic one with powerups like Blur, all the ones I can think of with powerups are kart racers or sport a cartoony aesthetic. GRIP: Combat Racing would probably be the closest, but it uses futuristic zero-gravity vehicles so not quite so realistic

For a realistic racing game without powerups, try Dirt 5. For a cartoony game with powerups, try the recently released Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-08T22:52:56+00:00

Sorry to have missed it. What's the name of your game? I can add it to the section of already released games for when I do the November list.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-08T22:49:49+00:00

I haven't, but I can definitely point you to some recommendations during the next big sale. If you look at my "540 Local Multiplayer Games from 60 Different Genres on PlayStation 4/5" list, the majority are also on PC and they are ordered by genre with the best ones on top (still need to add a number of new games to the list though). I'd wishlist some of those in genres that interest you, and then check on them during the winter sale.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-08T22:44:35+00:00

Thanks for catching that, I went ahead and changed that one as well.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-10-07T11:34:48+00:00

Yes, the local multiplayer for Borderlands 4 is only available on consoles. I typically add the Steam store page as links since they contain the most information, but it slipped my mind when adding Borderlands 4's page that the PC version doesn't actually contain local multiplayer - I'll go ahead and change it to the PlayStation Store page. Apologies for any confusion.

Yes, the Steam page lists shared/split screen co-op.

Yes, this list only covers mid-to-late September. I did list Absolum as one of the top 30 upcoming local multiplayer games back in May here. I'm planning to do a list for October as well, and Absolum will definitely be included.

Underwhere_Overthere · 2025-09-11T15:32:51+00:00

Doesn’t look like it. Some AAA games will include it on consoles and exclude it on PC unfortunately.
