The best cooperative games for PS5

Whenever someone says the word multiplayer, almost everyone visualizes in their head that we are facing a game in which we are going to connect through the internet and have to face everyone around us. Whether it’s a football game, a basketball game or an all-out battle in the middle of a typical battle royale battlefield. Of course, there are many other alternatives.

Cooperative games for PS5

Collaborate, it’s more fun

There is a variant of competitive multiplayer games that are cooperative . Those that, for whatever reason, allow us to join other players (in person on the same console or remotely) to finish together the main campaign, the story mode or specific missions that the creators have left us to solve in that way. So it’s not so much about making life impossible for each other, but rather the other way around, protecting ourselves from enemies, giving us a hand when things get annoying and running down the ammunition to the maximum to reach the goal, always thinking of the one we have next to us. .

The fact is that if you have a brand new PlayStation 5 and you want to spend unforgettable evenings with other friends fighting on the same side, we are going to tell you about the best titles you can find right now. That yes, although we are going to tell you which are the best (in our opinion, of course) of the next-gen , remember that backward compatibility with PS4 can also bring you good news when it comes to enjoying an eminently cooperative title from five years ago, six or more years.

IMPORTANT: Remember that in order to enjoy all these online features of the games, you must have one of the three PlayStation Plus subscription options active, or else you will not be able to connect to share games. Especially in those cases where the multiplayer is over the internet.

These are the best of the genre.

Back 4 Blood

Streets of Rage 4

If there is a genre that cooperatives fit like a glove, that is the beat-em’up. Simply press Start and a new participant will appear on the screen who, together, will be able to make their way through those “streets of rage” that came to consoles and PC in the year 2020.

Destiny 2 is one of those games born for cooperative multiplayer, thanks to the infinity of scenarios, dungeons, fortresses, and missions that we can attack together with a good group of comrades-in-arms. If you haven’t tried it, you’re taking a while, because it’s one of the strongest franchises on the multiplayer scene today.

FIFA 22

Although the normal thing is that we play a FIFA 22 match against a friend, on the same console or over the internet, the Electronic Arts game has a cooperative option where with two controllers, we can fight for victory within the same team. If you haven’t tried it, do it, you’ll see how surprised you are. Do you take Messi and I Vini Jr.?

Genshin Impact

This title that appeared on mobile phones and then made the leap to consoles like PS5 has parts of its development where it is essential to collaborate all together, forming a group that can face the dangers of very specific instances of the map. Moreover, it is so mandatory that these missions will be difficult for us to complete on our own without anyone’s help.
