Baldur's Gate 3. The best couch co-op games for single screen

Table of Contents

Co-op type: the campaign can be played with two people on a split screen

INFO
  1. Genre: RPG
  2. Platform: PC, PS5, XSX
  3. Release date: August 2023

Baldur's Gate 3 was probably the biggest premiere of last year and a celebration for fans craving huge and refined RPGs. It hasn't been a year since the debut, and everything seems to have been written about the game already - there is no doubt that it will achieve cult status in some time.

The fact that you can experience the entire story with a companion in split-screen mode is even more satisfying. Note that even on a PC, two controllers are required. How do you play it? During exploration, it's possible to move away from each other to a certain distance. The second player will also actively participate in turn-based clashes and conversations by suggesting the choice of a particular dialogue line.

Playing with a friend, as always, tastes better, but you should bear in mind that completing the Baldur's Gate 3 story takes several dozen, and often over 100 hours. So my recommendation is to find a teammate who is appropriately persistent and reliable. Of course, nothing prevents you from continuing the adventure solo when the other person drops out, optionally sending the second person's character back to the camp. This is important information because such a possibility wasn't available in the original version. Fortunately, one of the updates solved this (potential) problem.
