Sony's PlayStation Plus Extra subscription caters to a wide array of gaming preferences, offering everything from expansive RPGs like Dragon Quest 11 and Skyrim to fast-paced action games such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and competitive multiplayer experiences like For Honor. This diversity ensures there's something for everyone, including those who enjoy co-op gaming.
While local co-op and split-screen games are perfect for gathering friends around a single TV, online co-op has its own charm and is well-represented within the PS Plus lineup. If you're looking for the best online co-op games to enjoy with friends, here's a curated list updated as of January 12, 2025, by Mark Sammut. Note that while PS Plus Extra and Premium have yet to unveil their January 2025 additions, the Essential tier has introduced a polarizing yet co-op-friendly title this month.
This list prioritizes games that exclusively support online co-op, though a few exceptions with local co-op features are included. Besides quality, recent additions to PS Plus are highlighted first.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it shines as an online co-op experience. Released as part of the PS Plus Essential lineup for January 2025, this game lets you team up with friends to take on the Justice League. Its cooperative mechanics, where players can switch between characters like Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark, make it a fun, albeit polarizing, addition to your gaming sessions.
