About this list
Couch co-op is the small slice of cooperative gaming where one screen, one PC, and two-plus controllers carries the whole night. This list ranks the 200 best Steam games with the official Shared/Split Screen category, picked from 751 titles, each with at least 50 player reviews at Mostly Positive or better and a co-op mode (a Steam co-op category, or players tagging it co-op). Versus-only couch games like Rocket League, TEKKEN 7 and Gang Beasts are left out, and so are single-player games with a token co-op option. Ranked by the share of positive reviews, weighted by how many reviews a game has, so a small title can't top the list on a handful of votes. Unlike the Steam co-op tag filter, which blends online co-op and split-screen together and sorts by sales rank, this hub is split-screen only — every pick works on one machine, one screen, no second PC required. Whether you're paired up or hosting four people on one sofa, these are the picks worth the evening. The list runs over 4 pages of 50. Updated daily from imho.run's catalogue refresh.
Frequently asked
What counts as a split-screen game on this list?
A Steam title with the official Shared/Split Screen category and a co-op mode — games you play with another person on one screen and one PC, on the same side. That includes both vertical/horizontal split-screen and shared-screen co-op where everyone plays on the same view. Versus-only games, like most fighting and party games, are left out.
Can I play these on one PC with two controllers?
Yes — that's the point of the list. Every pick supports local same-screen play, so plug in a second controller (most support Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch Pro pads) and you're set. No second PC, no second copy of the game, no online account required for the local players.
Do these split-screen games also work online, or only on the couch?
It varies. Many also offer online co-op, and titles without native online can often be played remotely via Steam's Remote Play Together, which streams the local split-screen session to a friend over the internet. The local-couch format always works; check each game's store page for its online options. imho.run ranks the couch-co-op subset specifically.
How often is the split-screen list updated?
Once per day. New split-screen releases enter the list the day after they cross the 50-review Mostly Positive threshold, and titles that fall below it drop off the same way — imho.run's scraper refreshes the catalogue daily over the public Steam Store API.
