Best co-op Steam games
Updated
The strongest cooperative games on Steam — 50 titles that support online co-op, LAN co-op, or shared/split-screen play, each with at least 100 player reviews at Mostly Positive or better. Ranked by Steam's own review score first, total review volume second, so highly-rated indie co-op games aren't crowded out by franchise releases with mediocre scores. imho.run pulls the Co-op category data straight from Steam's store API, so "Co-op" here matches exactly what Valve labels — no manual curation that might miss something, no guessing from tags. Unlike the Steam Tag filter for co-op, which mixes community-applied tags with official categories and sorts by best-seller rank, this list ranks purely by review consensus. Refreshed daily; new co-op releases enter the list the day after they cross the review threshold.

Frequently asked
- What counts as a co-op game on this list?
- Any Steam title that ships an online co-op, LAN co-op, or shared/split-screen co-op category. Both PvE cooperative play and games where co-op is one of several modes qualify — Steam tags the game, and this list inherits Valve's tagging.
- Do these co-op games support split-screen on the same screen?
- Some do, some don't. Split-screen and couch-co-op support varies game-by-game — the Split-screen hub filters to the subset of co-op games with shared- or split-screen play if that's the format you want.
- Do they work over LAN, or do I need an internet connection?
- Most modern Steam co-op games default to online — Remote Play Together can fake local multiplayer over the internet for split-screen titles. LAN-only support is rarer; check the multiplayer line on each game's tile or its Steam store page for the specific category set.
- How often is the co-op list updated?
- Once per day. New co-op releases enter the candidate pool the day after they cross the review threshold; titles that lose enough reviews fall off the same way. imho.run's scraper refreshes the catalogue daily over the public Steam Web and Store APIs.
