It Takes Two (2021)
8.8/10on IGDB
Released
Two players get their own view throughout a campaign built around complementary tools, so explaining what your partner cannot see becomes part of the fun. PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Switch support two-player local co-op. One console and copy are enough for this mode. On Switch, allow a full Joy-Con pair or gamepad per person. Clear toy-scale environments help, although fast platforming still asks both players to steer a camera.

Split Fiction (2025)
8.9/10on IGDB
Released
Two writers repeatedly acquire different abilities, giving both halves of the screen a reason to exist. The PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 editions support two-player local split-screen; it is not a PS4 or original-Switch release. Set up two controllers on one console, rather than arranging Friend's Pass for remote play. The changing worlds reward talking through a plan, and separate camera settings help each player keep their view comfortable.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017)
8.4/10on IGDB
Released
Bright kart silhouettes, clear track edges and short races make a divided television easy to read. Up to four can race or battle on one TV-capable Switch, with a controller for each person; a single Joy-Con each is an option. Choose the local Multiplayer menu, not wireless play between consoles. Steering assistance helps a mixed group stay involved, and four people do not need four copies or Nintendo Switch Online for this local setup.

Mario Kart World (2025)
7.9/10on IGDB
Released
A larger field makes familiar racing feel wonderfully unruly, while recognisable characters help you follow the action in a quarter-screen. On one Switch 2, local Multiplayer supports two to four players in Grand Prix, Knockout Tour, VS Race and Battle. The 24-driver race total is not a promise of 24 people around one television. Bring additional controllers for a larger group; wireless and online options are separate ways to involve more systems.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (2019)
8.4/10on IGDB
Released
Power-slide boosts give familiar tracks enough depth for returning rivals, and local battle modes offer a change from another cup. Local Arcade supports up to four on PS4, Xbox One and a docked Switch; Switch tabletop mode is limited to two. Its Adventure campaign is a separate solo project. Pick local races or battles for the evening and agree how much drifting expertise the group wants, because experienced players can open a large gap.

Team Sonic Racing (2019)
7.0/10on IGDB
Released
Sharing items and helping a teammate recover makes the conversation more cooperative than a simple race for individual first place. The console editions support up to four local players; PS4 is also playable on PS5, with Xbox One and Switch versions available. Team races use three-driver teams, so four people do not all become one team. Clear character colours help on a divided screen, while choosing fair teams matters more than the maximum headcount.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged (2023)
6.5/10on IGDB
Released
Toy cars on oversized tracks give two players a clear focal point even when each gets only half the television. Local split-screen is for two, including PS4 and PS5 editions; it is not the advertised 12-player online field. Jumps and lateral dashes add ways to recover or find a shortcut. Choose the split-screen racing mode and prepare the car selection beforehand, rather than expecting the single-player story to become a shared campaign.

Dirt 5 (2020)
7.1/10on IGDB
Released
Broad off-road routes and large vehicles make this a lively option when four people want to race without studying a simulator. PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series editions support up to four local split-screen players, including offline Career play. The extra drivers can make progress together in the host's career, rather than needing separate consoles. Start with an open, well-lit course: rain, night lighting and flying mud are harder to parse in a quarter-screen.

Gran Turismo 7 (2022)
8.1/10on IGDB
Released
Side-by-side racing becomes satisfying when both drivers can compare a braking point and try it again. The native PS5 version supports up to four local players; PS4 supports two, including when running that version on a newer console. Unlock the Multiplayer pavilion before guests arrive and remember that GT7 relies on internet for most features. Two players give the track much more room on an ordinary television, and matching cars keeps attention on the driving.

TrackMania Turbo (2016)
7.9/10on IGDB
Released
A short track and an immediate restart make another round easy to fit into a friendly rivalry. The Xbox One and PS4 game supports up to four in local split-screen, and runs on their newer console families through compatibility. Pick split-screen rather than HotSeat, which takes turns, or Double Driver, where two people steer one car. The clean time-trial goal is readable on small panels; start with easier tracks before the loops demand precise memorisation.

A Way Out (2018)
7.7/10on IGDB
Released
One player can be occupied with a conversation while the other watches for an opening, making two simultaneous viewpoints feel like part of the storytelling. The PS4 and Xbox One versions support two-player local split-screen and remain playable on compatible newer consoles. One local copy and two controllers are the useful setup. Dynamic panel sizes and camera cuts deserve a television both people can see comfortably; agree to follow the story together rather than rush past each other's scenes.

Borderlands 3 (2019)
7.6/10on IGDB
Released
Distinct character abilities and the pleasure of sharing a new weapon make a campaign feel like a joint project. Native PS5 and Xbox Series editions support up to four local players, while PS4 and Xbox One support two. Install the correct version before inviting three friends. Combat silhouettes hold up better than the dense loot text, so two players are the more comfortable recommendation on a modest television; pause to inspect equipment together.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (2022)
7.1/10on IGDB
Released
Spells and multiclass builds give friends different jobs in the same chaotic fantasy adventure. PS5 and Xbox Series versions allow four local players; PS4 and Xbox One allow two, with horizontal or vertical layouts for a pair. The native edition matters, not simply the console the disc is sitting in. Choose this for a shared campaign and compare equipment between fights, because fitting four inventory interfaces onto a television is much less comfortable than fitting four heroes into a battle.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection (2014)
8.6/10on IGDB
Released
A recognisable arena and a few configurable rules can make local competition easy to organise. On Xbox One or Xbox Series, use two-player split-screen for a campaign such as Combat Evolved, or up to four for local multiplayer matches. The PC edition does not supply this console split-screen feature. Start with a simple Custom Game and generous time to learn the map; the online co-op player count is not the same thing as the number of campaign panels on one television.

Gears 5 (2019)
8.0/10on IGDB
Released
Cover positions make it easy to explain a useful move to the person beside you. Xbox One and Xbox Series support two or three players in local campaign split-screen. In the base campaign, the third player controls JACK, a support robot, rather than a third conventional gunfighter, so agree the roles first. Two panels offer the clearest view of flanking enemies on an ordinary television; the three-player option is valuable when someone actively wants that support job.

Minecraft (2016)
8.1/10on IGDB
Released
One player can build while another explores, without pulling everyone towards a shared camera. Console Bedrock editions support up to four in split-screen; Java Edition on a PC is a different setup. Use a local world on one console and connect a controller for each person. Large blocks make navigation readable, although inventories become crowded with four panels. A Realms subscription buys a hosted online world and is not required simply to build together in this local world.

Stardew Valley (2016)
8.6/10on IGDB
Released
Separate views let one farmer fish while another tends crops, then meet back at home to compare the day. PS4 and Xbox console versions support up to four local players. The original Switch edition supports two, while the newer Switch 2 Edition supports four. Build a cabin for each extra farmer and start Local Co-op from the options. No remote-play subscription is needed for this mode, but the small inventory text makes a pair more relaxed on a modest television.

Terraria (2011)
8.2/10on IGDB
Released
Independent views let one explorer follow a cave while someone else improves the base, so nobody is dragged around by another player's camera. The PS4 and Xbox console editions support up to four local players. On PS4, sign each person into a separate console profile before joining. The adjustable compact split-screen interface helps, but there is still dense crafting information to read; start with two and tune the UI before trying a full four-person expedition.

Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition (2018)
9.0/10on IGDB
Released
Two players can investigate different conversations and regroup for tactical combat, making the split more useful than simply duplicating the same view. PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series editions support two-player local split-screen. The four-person online party is a different player count. Views can reunite when the characters are together, then divide as they separate. A long campaign and substantial text make this a regular two-person evening project, with time to compare choices and read menus.

Baldur's Gate III (2023)
9.5/10on IGDB
Released
Separate viewpoints let two characters explore at their own pace while still sharing the consequences of a conversation. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S support two-player local split-screen; updated Series S builds gained this feature with Patch 8. Dynamic splitting can bring the views together when appropriate. You still need two controllers and room to read spells and dialogue, so set text options before beginning. Treat this as a campaign partnership, not a quick four-person party game.

Outward: Definitive Edition (2022)
Released
Preparing food, equipment and a route together turns an expedition into a shared undertaking. The PS5 and Xbox Series Definitive Edition supports two-player local split-screen, including the survival systems and its expansion content. Keep the version distinction clear when buying an older console copy. Independent views help when one person checks the camp while the other scouts, but maps and inventory text reward sitting close enough to read; agree who hosts the continuing campaign.

Resident Evil 5 Remastered (2016)
7.7/10on IGDB
Released
Calling out a threat and handing over ammunition give the second screen a practical purpose throughout the campaign. The PS4 and Xbox One remaster supports two-player local split-screen and can be played on compatible newer consoles. Its offset panels make less use of the television than a clean half-and-half layout, so check your viewing distance first. Choose it for deliberate cooperation and shared supplies, with a controller each, rather than assuming the advertised online modes allow four local campaign players.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015)
7.2/10on IGDB
Released
One partner spots danger or useful objects while the other handles much of the shooting, so the room is full of worthwhile call-outs. The PS4 and Xbox One console campaigns support two-player offline split-screen, with different roles for the paired characters. The support role is a real restriction if both people want identical combat tools. Check that you own the full set of story episodes, and leave enough screen space to see small clues rather than expecting two interchangeable action heroes.

Quake (2021)
8.2/10on IGDB
Released
Strong enemy shapes and straightforward weapons make this a good couch shooter when elaborate inventory systems would overwhelm the divided display. The enhanced 2021 console release supports up to four local players in campaign co-op or deathmatch, including bots for the latter. A Bethesda account is for online features and add-ons, not ordinary local matches. Start with a simple map and adjust the view to suit the television; this entry means the enhanced release, not an old console port.
