HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION

While you can co-op every mainline Halo with a friend in the MCC, it's Halo Reach and its 4-player campaign that makes this such a compelling co-op package. 

WARHAMMER: VERMINTIDE 2

A fully cooperative FPS where you and three friends axe, arrow, magic, and sword your way through a variety of Warhammer baddies. Melee combat doesn't get much better. 

DESTINY 2

A sci-fi looter shooter where, in its best moments, six players join forces to conquer meticulously designed raids—part puzzles, part shooting challenges. 

ARMA 3

Arma 3 is about scale and detail together: it’s not just a snapshot of a battle, it’s the whole thing. No other shooter offers a simulation on this level, with such production values. 

SWAT 4

In SWAT’s five-man co-op the mechanics for gathering info (like a fiber-optic camera), securing rooms, and breaking down doors come to life when paired with voice communication. 

INSURGENCY SANDSTORM

A superb co-op FPS for blasting waves of bots, the mission structure produces huge tension. Everyone on the team has one life, but dead allies respawn if objectives get completed. 

LEFT 4 DEAD 2

Twelve years later, L4D2 remains an overflowing fountain of free content thanks to mods. Don't fancy choosing the original characters? Then use block-based heroes courtesy of a Minecraft-inspired mod, instead.
