The best split-screen PS5 games
Jan 20, 2025
Some of the best PS1 games, or other games from that era, let you play with one or more friends in split-screen. This form of multiplayer has gotten less and less common as the generations have gone on but it isn’t fully abandoned yet. Most of the best PS5 games are single-player experiences or feature cross-platformonline multiplayer, with only a handful still allowing you to hand a second controller to a friend and play together on the same console. These are mainly co-op games, but there are a few options for competitive gaming here as well. If you want to relive the old days of spending hours on end gaming with a friend or family member on a single screen, we’ll give you the best options currently available on PS5.
After checking out this list, you can also look at the list of upcoming PS5 games to see if more split-screen games are on the way.

It is almost a law at this point that you have to put It Takes Two on any split-screen games list. Besides being one of the few games released that can only be played in split-screen, it is also just a fantastic game on its own. When a married couple is on the verge of divorce, they are magically transformed into their daughter’s toys and need to work together to find a way to break the spell. The journey is incredibly varied, with each character picking up new abilities that only work when combined with the others. This forces teamwork at every step in a way that is fun and rewarding. There are a few parts of the story that rub people the wrong way, but the gameplay and visual style are exceptional.
