So, you're sitting on the couch with your buddy, sibling, or significant other, and wondering, "What can we play without breaking the bank?" Well, you're in luck because we've rounded up some of the best free couch co-op games you can play on your PS4 and PS5!
1. Fortnite
Okay, who hasn't heard of Fortnite at this point? But did you know you can play split-screen with a friend? Drop into the Battle Royale, gather loot, and build your way to victory together. It's fun, it's fast, and best of all, it's free.
2. Rocket League
Think of soccer... but with rocket-powered cars. Sounds fun, right? Rocket League gives you the thrill of scoring goals while doing flips and smashing into opponents. The best part? You and your friend can team up and play from the comfort of your couch.
3. Brawlhalla
If you love games like Super Smash Bros., then you'll love Brawlhalla. It’s a platform fighter with a variety of characters, simple controls, and chaotic fun. And yes, you can battle it out with your friend, side by side.
4. Overcooked! All You Can Eat (Free Trial)
Technically, this one's a trial, but it's a must-try for couch co-op enthusiasts. Overcooked! has you and your friend scrambling to cook, serve, and clean up in chaotic kitchens. The teamwork (or lack of) will have you yelling, laughing, and maybe swearing.
5. Apex Legends
Although primarily a Battle Royale game, Apex Legends also offers a split-screen option for some chaotic fun. Form teams, strategize, and try to outlast the other squads. A solid choice if you’re into fast-paced, shooter action.
Why Couch Co-op?
Gaming together in person hits different. It’s the shared laughs, high-fives, and the moments when your friend just misses a jump that makes couch co-op awesome. Plus, it's a great way to bond without spending a dime.
Honorable Mention: Spelunky 2
Okay, technically not free, but I had to throw this one in! Spelunky 2 is an action-packed roguelike where you and your partner can explore dangerous caves, avoid traps, and try not to get each other killed. It’s challenging but ridiculously fun.
Wrapping Up
Whether you’re into shooters, sports, or chaotic kitchen shenanigans, the PS4 and PS5 offer some stellar free couch co-op games. So grab that extra controller, plop on the couch, and get ready for some epic gaming sessions. The best things in life, including these games, are free. 😉
