My boyfriend and I love gaming together. We just got the Xbox series X yesterday and are dying for more couch co-op options that we haven't already exhausted. I've scoured Microsoft store and come up with these that have peaked my interest.
Looking for reviews, suggestions, influence, deinfluence, any advice!!
We've played:
All Diablos
POE
Elder Scrolls
Minecraft Dungeons
It Takes Two
A Way Out
Ages of Mages
Torchlight 2 (on switch, not local coop)
Grim Dawn
9th Dawn Remake
Tiny Tina's Wonderland
Borderlands
WoW Classic (PC)
Smite
(don't enjoy Lego split screen, as the way it works makes me nauseous lol)
We mostly prefer RPGs/action/adventure
TIA 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Baldurs Gate 3. Just finished it with my wife who doesn’t even like playing games and she loved it.
Split Fiction – great game.
Split Fiction
Split Fiction. The Dungeons 2
Split fiction, undoubtedly if you like it takes two. Also check out the Dark Picture Series Games, theyre probably my favorite co-op games.
Is avatar online only co-op?
Split fiction. Could have won game of the year if it wasn’t for 2025 being packed to the gills with awesome games
* Kill it With Fire 2
* Powerwash Simulator 2
* Dark Pictures Anthology
* Doom and Doom 2
* The Quarry
Enjoyed all these with the family
There’s a Minecraft dungeons 2??
Halo MCC and fable 2/3
I also second Baldurs gate 3 even though it’s turn based
Wolfenstein Youngblood
Strange Brigade
Lego Voyagers
Edit: Sorry! The first 2 are not couch co-op, overlooked that requirement..
Split Fiction, not even a question.
Detroit become human is an awesome game to play with your significant other, I must’ve played through that game with 3 different girlfriends lol
Screamer
The Ascent
Might be some repeats in here, as this is a copy/paste from another post I’ve made.
– Battletoads
– Castle Crashers Remastered
– Cuphead
– Halo series (5 and Infinite don’t have couch unfortunately)
– Gears series
– Left 4 Dead / Left 4 Dead 2

– Overcooked: All You Can Eat!
– Portal 2
– Resident Evil 5
– Split Fiction

I absolutely love Destroy All Humans.
Split Fiction. I spend most of the weekend playing to 1-3am with my nephew. Loved every minute of it!
Cuphead for a challenge. Stardew Valley for a relaxing experience you can always come back to from time to time. Plus you guys can marry each other in that game.
Guns, Gore and Cannoli.
Absolum is a great game on game pass. Beat em up rouge like.
Spilt fiction
Unruly Heroes ftw
Resident evil 5
Gonna throw a weird one on your list.
Outward: Definitive Edition

This is an action role playing game with survival mechanics. The combat feels a little bit dark souls ish, you have to manage hunger, thirst, and warmth. Your character can suffer from maladies. Magic is a pain to come by. Quests have multiple outcomes and consequences. And the game handles your saving for you, meaning you cant manually save.
And this whole janky amazing mess can be played in Split-Screen co-op.
You need dysmantle
Check out Absolum, its a coop beat em up rogue-like with a cool drawn fantasy art style and a fire soundtrack. It is also on Game Pass
I know you didn’t mention cozy farm sims but Stardew Valley & Coral Island are cool whenever you want a break from all the action! 🥂
