Nintendo Switch Co-Op

Co-Op Games on Nintendo Switch

Switch is the easiest console for spontaneous co-op: two Joy-Cons, one console, no second copy. These titles are recorded in our catalog as available on Nintendo Switch.

Not every Switch co-op game supports single-console play — some still require one copy and one console per player.

How we record platform availability

Each game in our catalog carries a recorded store platform list. A game appears here only when this platform family is on that list — we never infer availability from a tag, a title or a store blurb, and games with no recorded platforms are left out rather than guessed. Party sizes on the cards come from our canonical same-group data, not from lobby or server capacity, and crossplay is tracked separately because availability on two platforms does not mean the two can play together.

Read our full methodology.

Before you buy for the group

  • Check whether local play needs one console or two before you take a game to someone's house.
  • Online co-op on Switch needs Nintendo Switch Online for most titles.
  • Short sessions suit the platform — the under-30-minute hub is a good starting point.

Frequently asked questions

Can we play these on one Switch?

Only when the game supports local shared-screen play. That is recorded per game in our catalog rather than assumed from the platform.

Do Switch players get crossplay?

Some titles support it. The crossplay hub lists the games where cross-platform play is confirmed.

Where does the platform data come from?

Platform availability comes from the store data recorded in our catalog, not from user guesses. Games without a recorded platform list are left off these pages instead of being estimated.
