101 Local Multiplayer Games/Updates Released in 2021 for PlayStation 4/5

Related PostsSee below for some complementary posts I’ve made relating to the topic of local multiplayer games. Normally I would put this at the bottom of the post, but this post will need to be divided into multiple comments to fit it all.300 Local Multiplayer Games from 60 Different Genres for PlayStation 4/560 Upcoming Local Multiplayer GamesOverview of 25 Local Multiplayer Games for PlayStation 4/5Post SynopsisThis is a list of 101 local multiplayer games/updates on the PlayStation 4/5 in 2021 – this includes ports from other platforms that released on the PS4/PS5 ecosystem for the first time in 2021, including games from well before the 2010s. This also includes games that released on the PS4/PS5 before 2021 that were updated to add local multiplayer support for the first time, but the only games on the list that meet this criterion are Stardew Valley and The Binding of Isaac: Repentance (paid DLC), and A Hat in Time on the Omitted List (more on that later). Compilations of old games, like the Deathsmiles I + II pack, are also only characterized as “one game” in the context of this list. I also listed games from the same series together that were released on the PS4/PS5 in the same year, like the Cotton games and Darius games – technically separate purchases for each of their entries, but it just made sense to combine them.This is a compilation of a series of four posts I made divided into quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) throughout 2021 – this post combines and modifies parts of the write-ups of those previous posts, while adding 20+ new write-ups on games that weren’t featured on the original lists (plus a few on the omitted list).Defining Local Multiplayer, Co-op, and PvPIn the context of this post, local multiplayer refers to games that support multiple players on one console: some other definitions include couch multiplayer or same-system multiplayer. Local multiplayer is an umbrella term referring to both co-op games and PvP games. Co-op stands for Cooperative, and has players working together to achieve a common goal, like in It Takes Two. PvP stands for Player versus Player, and has players competing against each other, like in Street Fighter. Some games feature both co-op and PvP (even It Takes Two has some PvP mini-games).Defining Shared-Screen, Split-Screen, and Hotseat ModeLocal multiplayer games are either shared-screen or split-screen: Street Fighter is an example of a shared-screen game, while It Takes Two is an example of a split-screen game (mostly), although It Takes Two does occasionally transition to a shared-screen view during certain parts of the game.If a game is turn-based, it may allow hotseat mode, which allows players to take turns passing the same controller around. This means that you can still play a local multiplayer game even if you only own one controller, but the actual number of games that supports this is very small, with only a handful releasing each year. Note that not all turn-based games support hotseat mode.Online Play and Share PlayWhile this post emphasizes local multiplayer, I will still make mention if a game features online multiplayer as well. Of course, you can always use Share Play to play local multiplayer games online on PS4/PS5 (and Parsec or Steam Remote Play on PC), and what’s great is only the host needs to own a copy of the game for it to work. That said, this feature only allows up to 60-minute sessions, so you need to restart a session if you plan on playing longer than that. All users must also be PlayStation Plus subscribers. There are some other restrictions that may apply to playing certain games via Share Play, so I recommend reading the link I shared if you’re interested in more details.Games with 5+ Players on Other PlatformsPC, Xbox One/Series X, and Switch allow up to at least 8 traditional controllers on the same console, whereas the PS4/PS5 are capped at 4. This means that some games that support 5-8 players on other platforms are cut off at 4 on the PS4/PS5. That said, the PS4/PS5 still have a few games that support 5-8 local players, either through hotseat mode or through playlink (using smartphones as controllers). I’m going to list the games on the main list that support 5-8 local players on other platforms for people who own may own multiple platforms and want to play these games with more than four players.Knight Squad 2 - 8 PlayersBeach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure - 8 PlayersRetroMania Wrestling - 8 PlayersGuts ‘N Goals - 6 PlayersMonopoly Madness - 6 PlayersMethodology and NotesI measured the total number of local multiplayers released in the 1st Half of 2020, which ended up being 101, so about 202 for the whole year if we were to average the number out throughout the year. (I never did the full year because Sony restructured the store that year and made sorting games by release date impossible at the time). That being said, I think it’s actually more than that, since when doing this list for 2021 I noticed Q3 and Q4 had way more releases than Q1 and Q2 – almost exactly 2/3 of the games on this list are from the 2nd Half of 2021.Overall, I would estimate there were probably around 300 new local multiplayer games added to the PS4/PS5 in 2021 – even more when you divide out the compilations of old games, like Capcom’s and Blizzard’s collection of 1980s and 1990s games that feature multiple local multiplayer titles. This list documents 100 of the best ones + another 30 that were considered for the list + another 31 on the omitted list that I wanted to acknowledge for one reason or another.I haven’t played every game on this list and probably never will (barring a lotto win and an early retirement), but I researched every game on the list and made sure there was nothing really bad on here, and the Metacritic review scores back that up. Metacritic wasn’t the only determining factor when making this list, and that’s in large part because the number of reviews available for some of these lesser-known indie games is sometimes very small. Also, since this list was made over the course of a year, some of these games didn’t even have review scores when I first put them on the quarterly lists.In lieu of a better method of ordering the games, I’m going to order the games by Metacritic Critic Ratings – you might see a few games lower or higher than what you’d expect with this method, as an aggregate score can be skewed when there are very few reviews present, but I still think most of the better games are towards the top. In the event that the PS4/PS5 version of a game did not have any critic reviews, I opted to use the platform with the most reviews instead. The games I did this with all have platform parity with the PS4/PS5.PS4 versus PS5There were hardly any differences on the local multiplayer front between the PS4/PS5 this year. However, if this was solely a PS4 list, there would be two additional games added: Overcooked! All You Can Eat and Haven. These two games released on the PS5 in late 2020, and were backported to the PS4 in early 2021.There were, however, a few PS5 exclusive games I noticed towards the end of 2021 that didn’t make the list – exclusive in this context meaning available on PS5 but not PS4, since most of these games are available on other platforms. Speedway Racing, for example, is exclusive to PS5, but it got mediocre reviews from critics and bad reviews from users, so it wasn’t included on any of the three lists. It’s interesting to see that there are a few indie games popping up now exclusively on PS5, so I imagine that in 2022 we’ll see some actual good local multiplayer games exclusive to PS5.The only other real notable difference between the PS4 and PS5 on the local multiplayer front in 2021 I can think of is Can’t Drive This, which adds controller vibration and adaptive trigger support for the Dual Sense in the PS5 version of the game (and costs $5 more than the PS4 version). There were also a few games that were said to have better graphics on the PS5, most notably It Takes Two, but nothing too significant. Outside of these factors, the two platforms were basically the same this year on the local multiplayer front.2021 versus Previous Years & Genre Representation2021 was a pretty standard year for local multiplayer games overall, with the one exception being It Takes Two, which has achieved tremendous mainstream success and seems to be the go-to recommendation in most threads surrounding local multiplayer games on PS4/PS5, surpassing the likes of Overcooked, Borderlands, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and Diablo III. Granted, it is the most recent big hitter, but at the moment it seems to be the #1 recommendation for most people.When we look at the big picture though, the last few years have been pretty in line with the quantity of quality games on the platform. Like most years, shoot ‘em ups, beat ‘em ups, and platformers made up a large percentage of the local multiplayer games, as well as party games, fighting games, and sports games to a lesser extent – since I didn’t put every game on this list, I do try to limit the number of games from each of these genres, since there are so many comparatively speaking.With that said, there was one other big overrepresented genre this year, that previously didn’t have that many games – though it isn’t typically classified as a genre. I’m talking about the Overcooked-like - games that emphasize teamwork and racing against a clock to fulfill demands/orders in a set amount of time, with a score counter typically marking progression. It’s clear that many games released this year were inspired by Overcooked, some more obvious than others. For perspective, the original Overcooked game first released in 2016 and has only increased its influence over the years through its sequels/remakes/DLCs and ports to other platforms.3D platformers also saw a large number of new releases this year when compared to previous years. There were at least nine new 3D platformers with local multiplayer support this year on the PS4/PS5, with most of them favoring an isometric view akin to Super Mario 3D World and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. While this number does include some bad games and games with only support roles, it’s still a lot even if we were to only go by “worthwhile games” (about three or four) when you consider the genre has mostly been relegated to single player or tacked on versus modes since its inception.When we look at one of the more popular genres – first person shooters in this case – there were far less options when compared to the aforementioned overrepresented genres. From my count, there were six from this year with local multiplayer (it is possible I may have missed one or two, but I don’t think I did): Call of Duty: Vanguard, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure, Quake, Lemnis Gate, Outbreak: Endless Nightmares, and RICO: London. Of these six, two are ports from older platforms (Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure and Quake Remastered), two are said to be bad games (Outbreak: Endless Nightmares and RICO: London), one is an unconventional turn-based game (Lemnis Gate), and one is a yearly release (Call of Duty: Vanguard).Local Multiplayer Games Released on Other Platforms in 2021Steam received over 10,000 games in 2021 (PS4/PS5 is estimated to be at about 700-800 games total for 2021), so it’s very likely that there were thousands of local multiplayer games released this year (that does include a hefty amount of shovelware however). I’m not going to put out an exhaustive list of all the great ones released on other platforms this year, but I want to make some acknowledgements to some of the ones I know about. See the list below.Halo InfiniteMario Party: SuperstarsMario Golf: Super RushWarioWare: Get It Together!Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. BrainCruis’n BlastGame Builder Garage (limited)Rogue Heroes: Ruins of TasosFly TogetherTuncheThe AscentWitchtasticKnights & GunsGlamJack AxePaperball Deluxe (updated version of a 2020 game)The Omitted ListThis is a list of games that are simply item-listed and were omitted from the main list for one reason or another. I will list some of the reasons a game may be excluded from the main list.Yearly Release: Pretty self-explanatory – games that are released on a yearly basis were omitted to make room for other games on the list. It wouldn’t really be worth putting in the time to do more detailed write-ups on these games when everyone knows what they are. Even so, some of these games have received exceptional review scores and may still be worth looking into if you haven’t played one of them in awhile.Small Separate PvP or Co-op Mode: This includes games that have a robust single player mode but a relatively small local multiplayer component. Sonic Colors: Ultimate, for example, has less than 1 hours’ worth of local co-op content, and that content is noticeably worse than the single player campaign. Given that the game is $40, it’s not really worth purchasing for the co-op content alone, but it’s still a nice extra to have. That said, Sonic Colors: Ultimate is the most egregious example and it could be argued that other games under this label could be on the main list.Support Role: These are games that feature local co-op in a more limited capacity to the second player, similar to how it’s done in Super Mario Galaxy/Odyssey. However, it’s worth noting that some games feature more robust support roles than the aforementioned games – Ghost ‘n Goblins Resurrection’s support role actually has multiple ghosts with different abilities for the second player to choose from, and since the game is considerably shorter, I could see it still being a fun enough time for the second player.DLC to Existing Local Multiplayer Game: These are games that already had local multiplayer that were updated with more content. There’s likely many more games that I could put on here, but finding out what small indie games got updated with new content is a lot harder to find than simply seeing new games pop up in the PlayStation Store. Still though, I figured I’d just put the ones I knew about on here.Bad Camera in Co-op: These games might be good and include full-fledged co-op, however they suffer due to the camera not properly accommodating two players. The most notable game that fits this criterion is A Hat in Time on consoles, which frequently loses sight of the second player. The game is shared-screen on consoles, rather than split-screen like how it is on PC. Some 3D platformers have made a shared-screen view work, but in the case of A Hat in Time it was done poorly.See below for a list of the games omitted from the main list.O-1.

A Hat in Time – Bad Camera in Co-opGames That Were Considered for the 101There were a large number of contenders for the list, and while I think I mostly captured everything truly great, there were still a considerable number of titles that could’ve qualified. Again, this post was made over the course of a year so I would probably make some small changes if I were to rework it from scratch, knowing everything I do now. As a result, I decided to include some of the other contenders that could qualify for this list – these games can really be thought of as interchangeable with the bottom 20 or so games on the list for the most part, but I have to pump the brakes at some point, and 100 is a good stopping point (I increased it to 101 because I initially forgot to include a somewhat notable game). Even so, I wanted to at least acknowledge these games with their titles and an accompanying picture.Alchemist AdventureAxis Football 2021Azure ReflectionsBloody Rally ShowBroken BotsColossus DownHeavy BurgerKiai ResonanceOlympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video GamePapa’s QuizQ-Yo BlasterShaolin vs WutangThe Eternal Castle RemasteredTinker RacersTouhou Hyoubiana: Antinomy of Common FlowersTri6: InfiniteSpelunker HD DeluxeTrenga UnlimitedVoid GoreWho Wants to Be a Millionaire?

The Binding of Isaac: RepentancePicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $59.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: November 3, 2021Genre: Top-Down Action Game/RogueliteMultiplayer: 4 Player Local Co-opMetacritic: 90% from 1 Critic Review, 73% from 4 User RatingsDescription: While previous versions of The Binding of Isaac did feature local co-op, those versions relegated the additional players to a support role. Repentance brings with it full-fledged co-op for the first time, marketed as “True Co-op.” Players share the same resource pool of coins, bombs, and keys, but have their own independent health, items, trinkets, and cards/pills. The Binding of Isaac features hundreds of hours of content, so if you’re looking for a local co-op game to last you awhile, this is one of the best options around.2. Melty Blood: Type LuminaPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $49.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: September 30, 2021Genre: 2D Fighting GameMultiplayer: 2 Player Local & Online PvPMetacritic: 90% from 1 Critic Review, 63% from 6 User RatingsDescription: Melty Blood: Type Lumina is based on Type-Moon’s visual romance novel, Tsukihime.

The game also serves up 25 competitive mini-games that can be accessed via a menu, though these must first be found and unlocked in the co-op campaign. This is the second game to come from Hazelight Studios, the creators of A Way Out. Like that game, this one is built around the co-op experience and is both online and local co-op. If you play online, only the host needs to own a copy of the game.4. Tetris Effect: ConnectedPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $39.99 ($19.99 – Current Sale Price)PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: August 17, 2021Genre: Puzzle GameMultiplayer: 4 Player Local & 8 Player Online PvP, 3 Player Local & Online Co-opMetacritic: 88% from 25 Critic Reviews, 78% from 80 User RatingsDescription: 37 years after the original game, people still love playing Tetris, hence the number of new releases and variations to the formula over the years. This new iteration emphasizes a multiplayer component, featuring PvP, as well as a co-op mode that has up to three players literally connecting their Tetris playfields together to play as one.5. QuakePicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $9.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: October 12, 2021Genre: First Person ShooterMultiplayer: 4 Player Local & Online Co-op, 4 Player Local & 8 Player Online PvPMetacritic: 88% from 6 Critic Reviews, 64% from 18 User RatingsDescription: Quake first released back in 1996 and comes from the same developer as 1993’s Doom, id Software.

The 1.5 update brings split-screen multiplayer to the game for the first time.7. Wilmot’s WarehousePicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $14.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: February 9, 2021Genre: Puzzle GameMultiplayer: 2 Player Local Co-opMetacritic: 85% from 4 Critic Reviews, 84% from 7 User RatingsDescription: Wilmot’s Warehouse has players controlling warehouse employees, who must organize a variety of products in a way that makes things easy to find. Once the service hatch opens, players must meet the product demands of customers quickly, which is made easier if players did a good job of organizing things initially.8. UnsightedPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $19.99 ($15.99 – Current Sale Price)PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: September 30, 2021Genre: Top-Down Action Adventure GameMultiplayer: 2 Player Local Co-opMetacritic: 85% from 1 Critic Review, 97% from 3 User RatingsDescription: Unsighted takes heavy inspiration from Hyper Light Drifter and thankfully features local co-op support just like that game. Unsighted still has some ideas of its own though, with its main gimmick being your character’s withering life force, which ticks away in real-time and causes changes in the story and NPC interactions, resulting in different endings. If you still have PTSD from Pikmin 1 and would prefer not to play with the real-time timer you can fortunately disable this option by selecting the easiest difficulty. In addition to the main campaign, the game also features dungeon raid and boss rush modes.9. Toy Soldiers HDPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $14.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: October 21, 2021Genre: Tower Defense GameMultiplayer: 2 Player Local & Online PvPMetacritic: 84% from 2 Critic Reviews, N/A from 0 User RatingsDescription: Originally released in 2010, Toy Soldiers has been brought back to life on modern consoles through this remaster, with new levels and all the DLC from the original game. The game has a World War I aesthetic and allows you to take direct control of individual units or command the entire battlefield from above.10. Guilty Gear -Strive-Picture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $59.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: June 10, 2021Genre: 2D Fighting GameMultiplayer: 2 Player Local & Online PvPMetacritic: 84% from 20 Critic Reviews 82% from 43 User RatingsDescription: Guilty Gear comes from developer Arc System Works, who has worked on a number of other fighting games, including the BlazBlue series, Granblue Fantasy Versus, Dragon Ball FighterZ, etc. This new entry is intended as a “complete reconstruction of the franchise” and has received periodic updates to the game since its release back in June, which include general enhancements to the game and new playable characters.11. Stick Fight the GamePicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $7.49PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: December 3, 2021Genre: Arena FighterMultiplayer: 4 Player Local & Online PvPMetacritic: 83% from 2 Critic Reviews, 70% from 4 User RatingsDescription: Stick Fight the Game was first released on Steam back in 2017 and has gone on to sell more than two million copies. This is an arena fighter in a similar vein as TowerFall, Duck Game, and Extreme Exorcism, but it’s physics-based and a lot wackier than any of the aforementioned games, with over 100 maps to duke it out on.12. ConnecTankPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $29.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: September 28, 2021Genre: Overcooked-like Strategy GameMultiplayer: 4 Player Local Co-opMetacritic: 83% from 1 Critic Review, N/A from 0 User RatingsDescription: ConnecTank has players linking conveyor belts together, crafting ammo, and putting out fires to defeat opponents.

Players must group foes together for chain attacks to out-perform the other player in the versus mode. The game features 13 playable characters and remixed music tracks from the original game.15. Project Starship XPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $9.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: January 26, 2021Genre: Roguelite/Shoot ‘em UpMultiplayer: 2 Player Local Co-opMetacritic: 80% from 3 Critic Reviews, 100% from 1 User RatingDescription: Reportedly a parody of Lovecraftion cosmic horror, with characters like Swagthulu and bosses like Zombie Hitler, Project Starship X features a colorful cast of characters and modernized 16-bit graphics. In addition, the game features 14 levels, multiple difficulty options, and a boss rush mode. While it’s not on the list due to the prevalence of shoot ‘em ups on the list and middling review scores, it’s worth noting that Void Gore also released on the PS4/PS5 this year and is from the same developer, Panda Indie Studio (and is also local co-op).16. Blazing BeaksPicture: LinkTrailer: LinkPrice: $14.99PlayStation Store Page: LinkRelease Date: October 6, 2021Genre: Top-Down Action Game/RogueliteMultiplayer: 2 Player Local Co-op, 4 Player Local PvPMetacritic: 80% from 9 Critic Reviews, 81% from 29 User RatingsDescription: Blazing Beaks features a cast of 10 anthropomorphic birds, with enough items, weapons, and enemies to make each playthrough fresh. In addition to the main campaign, there is a separate versus mode that allows players to battle against one another in five different modes. To be clear, the campaign only allows for 2 players, while the versus mode allows for 4.17.

Taking the Borderlands series in a more fantastical direction, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep features skeletons, dragons, and giant golems as enemies. This game will be a PS Plus game for February 2022, so I’d recommend holding off on it if you’re interested in it and are a PS Plus subscriber.20.
