Many gamers want to play with friends so they can have a better experience. If you’re someone hoping for that in 2024, we have some games for you to check out.
Update: We will continue to update this list periodically throughout the year, so you will likely see some games removed or added. These games are not ranked in any particular order, as the focus here is to showcase titles we are excited to see hit the marketplace.
#20 Marvel Rivals
Platform: PC PS5 XSX|S
Release Date: December 06, 2024
In team shooters, you absolutely could just go in blind and hope that the teammates you’ll get paired up with are good enough to help you achieve victory. Or, you could go the other route and attempt to play with friends whom you know will have your back and listen to you as you guide everyone to victory. It’s your call.
Regardless, in Marvel Rivals, you and your friends will have a wide swath of Marvel characters to choose from, meaning that your pals can create unique strategies with you so that you can dominate the battlefield.
Plus, with new characters incoming, there’s always a chance to make your squad even better.
#19 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind
It’s Morphin Time! If you’re a fan of the original Power Rangers series and want to morph it up with friends, then you’ll want to get Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind! In the game, a future version of Rita has traveled back in time to meet her younger self, and as a result, all of time and history is at risk!
The Power Rangers must come together to face familiar foes from the original series, as well as remixed tales that are fresh to everyone! So choose your Rangers, power up, and save the day! May the power protect you all, and remember, the power lies on your SIDE!
#18 Enshrouded
At first, Enshrouded might not seem like a true PVE title. However, while it is RPG-focused, there are some “player versus world” events that you can do. The reason for this is the game allowed for co-op. But not just any co-op, 16-person co-op! So, you’ll be able to form massive parties by which you can take on numerous challenges within the game.
Those challenges include doing raids, taking on hordes of enemies, and so on. Plus, you can form your party in special ways so your weapons and skills complement each other well.
So what are you waiting for? Build up your crew and see what awaits you in this cursed realm!
#17 Stormgate
RTS games usually have a limited function with co-op ability, but Stormgate will change that narrative. The game takes place on a version of Earth that was almost eradicated due to a gate opening up and monsters pouring out of it.
Hundreds of years later, the fight to keep Earth alive when the gate reopens is on. You’ll get to work together with friends to complete the campaign missions and see how far you can push the monsters back.
Another benefit to the title is that it’s free-to-play and that there will never be a “pay-to-win” option! Plus, you can make levels yourself in the editor!
#16 Men of War II
War. War never changes. Oh, that’s not the correct line for this game, is it?
Regardless, Men of War II will take you back to World War II and force you to put on your general’s cap as you attempt to win battle after battle so you can claim victory for your side.
The strategy elements of the title are some of the deepest you’ll find in a war game. You’ll have to think not only about the troops and vehicles you use but the way you use them on terrain. You can even build up the terrain or warp it so that it suits your needs!
Get ready to lead; your troops and friends need you!
#15 Towerborne
When you are a protector of humanity, your job is rarely ever done. In Towerborne, humanity has been forced to live within a tower due to the dangers that lurk throughout the land.
However, there is hope in the form of a spirit called Ace. Their job is to take on the dangers and help preserve humanity! But whether you do it alone or with others is up to you! Leap from The Belfry and take on any dangers that come your way. Work with friends to make the journey easier, and find creatures called Umbra that’ll help you, too!
A bold adventure mixed with action awaits!
#14 No More Room in Hell 2
Well, with a name like No More Room in Hell 2, you shouldn’t expect a “nice and pleasant game.”
The sequel puts you in a world that was overrun by a zombie virus. All attempts to quell the spread failed, and now, every day is a fight for survival. Specifically, you’ll be part of an 8-person group that is wandering from place to place to get supplies and stay alive.
Teamwork is the key in this game, as you’ll need to work together to fight off zombies, alert each other to dangers, and find what you need to make it through each day.
#13 Level Zero
A race against time is easily one of the biggest stresses a player can face, and Level Zero will have you feeling that fear no matter what side you’re on.
The game takes place in a rundown station where a group of four scientists are trying to repair things so they can make their escape. Why do they need to escape? Because two players will be aliens that are trying to kill the others!
You’ll need to use light to ward them off and repair what you need to so you can get out in one piece. Or, be the aliens and show the others no mercy!
#12 Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Platform: PC PS4 PS5
Release Date: February 1, 2024
Plenty of gaming titles in our world today pride themselves on having a co-op element. But you might not have thought Granblue Fantasy: Relink was a title to partake in due to its RPG setting and feel. But that just makes it all the better! You can create a character with a friend and sail across the Sky Realm’s various islands in search of wonders!
You’ll have to work together to build up your stats while also keeping an eye out for other characters to bring into your party! If you do things right, you might just find a certain island of legend!
#11 Towers of Aghasba
Welcome to Towers of Aghasba, a unique game where growth will come in many forms, but it’ll all be by your hand.
By that, we mean how the game will put you as someone who is tasked with helping his people grow their community while also helping nature grow back all the ecosystems that have been lost in the natural world.
Your goal is to find the right balance to do everything and improve the world for both nature and your people. Explore with friends and work together to restore everything while also making it better for your kin! What will this island look like when you’re done with it?
#10 The First Descendant
Who doesn’t love being a super soldier with abilities that can help save the world and its people?
For those who have been hoping to enjoy such a title with friends, the upcoming The First Descendant will be one to keep an eye out for. It focuses on a group of people who are the last chance for humanity to survive a war with aliens. They’ll defend the continent and work in groups or solo to take on massive creatures and unlock the truth about their lives.
Just who are the descendants? Why can they do all they can on the battlefield? You’ll have to play to find out!
#9 Kristala
We’re going to change things up a bit and show you a game that focuses you on being a cat warrior.
No, we’re not joking here; Kristala is indeed about you being a cat warrior and a good one at that! Your goal as a member of your species is to join an elite group of warriors. But everything changes when the kingdom comes under attack! It’s up to you to save the day, unravel the mysteries going on, and prove your skills!
As a cat warrior, you’ll have many options and abilities available to you, so use them wisely to save the day!
#8 Helldivers 2
Platform: PC PS5
Release Date: February 8, 2024
Let’s be honest here: when it comes to shooter titles, regardless of whether they’re first or third-person, you’re going to have options to play with friends and allies from across the globe. HellDivers 2 is no different. However, one thing that separates this game is that you’re encouraged to work together to do the most damage possible.
Sure, there’s a strategy element to the game, too. But do you really care about that? Or do you care about unleashing carnage on alien menaces? That’s what we thought.
The game is out now. So load up, get in your squads, and see if you can complete your missions!
#7 Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game
We know that many of you have a profound fear of clowns, and we apologize in advance for bringing up this game.
To those that don’t have that phobia, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is an asymmetrical multiplayer title where three of you will be the evil clowns trying to take over Crescent Cover, and the other seven players will be the townspeople trying to fight back and save their homes!
Each side will have advantages, so make use of them to try and come out on top! The battle isn’t over until only one side is standing! Will it be your side?
#6 Mechwarrior 5: Clans
Who wouldn’t want to get into a giant mech suit and fight for their freedom? Seriously, if it’s between fighting on the ground with regular weapons or jumping into an epic mech suit and taking on foes that way, you can guess where we’re going to go!
In Mechwarrior 5: Clans, you’ll be part of a resistance movement that is trying to kick a certain group off their planet after it was conquered and exploited. To do so, you’ll need to use your mech suits strategically and root out the cancer where it stands! Fight hard for your people and free your world!
#5 Path of Exile 2
When it comes to titles with plenty to do, you always want to know that you’re diving into a title that makes every decision you make matter. Path of Exile 2 will give you that and more while keeping you entertained for years to come.
The game will put you on a dark continent with nothing to your name save for your desire for revenge against those who put you there. You and your friends will battle across the land and build yourselves into powerful beings based solely on the items you collect from fallen foes.
Do you have what it takes to defeat all that comes your way?
#4 Palworld
Platform: PC Xbox One XSX|S
Release Date: January 19, 2024 (early access)
In this gaming day and age, playing with friends is something that almost every title strives for because almost everything in gaming can be more fun when you do it with a friend. In Palworld, you’ll learn just how lucky you’ll be to have friends when you have to take on the many different creatures of this world!
Given the strength of some of them, you’ll want to have a partner next to you that has their own Pals so you can team up and take your foe down quickly!
With the ability to play with up to three other players, you’ll have numerous options for battles and strategy.
#3 Ripout
In space, everyone will hear you scream because you’re playing a co-op looter shooter where monsters are everywhere, and you need to take them out as you ransack their ships.
Ripout has you searching for a group of humans among the stars, and the only way to reach them is by going from ship to ship to find stuff to collect and improve your character with. The twist is that one of the ways you can improve yourself is through biotech, which you’ll acquire by killing enemies. So you could become “one of them” if you wanted.
Oh, and did we mention that you wield a gun that’s alive?
#2 Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail
Are you ready for the next phase of a grand MMORPG adventure? Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is the first expansion Square Enix has dropped since they concluded the storyline of its first several batches of content.
With that closure and something new now arriving, players will have a new story to start, lands to explore, and things to do. Plus, since this list is about co-op fun, you’ll enjoy new battles and quests with friends as you send your party to unknown places!
Square Enix even revealed a special crossover quest with a certain mainline entry character, so be on the lookout for that!
#1 Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Plenty of games are aimed at players who want to feel like an unstoppable killing machine. But in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, you WILL be an unstoppable killing machine, so your Emperor has sent you to the darkest parts of space to cleanse worlds in his honor.
Planets are falling one after another, and you are the only ones who can stem the tide. As a Space Marine, you’ll have plenty of weapons to take on the hordes of chaotic beings and other monsters you’ll face.
Plus, you can do even more damage with your partner right next to you! So prepare yourself, marine. The fight is just beginning.
